In April 2001, a conference was held in Rapid City, South Dakota on Child Sexual Abuse in Indian Country. As an outcome of the conference, this resource manual was produced containing the conference/workshop outline and a list of presenters and biographies. In addition, research and resource material, supporting the conference and addressing issues specific to Native American communities and their children, included information on: (1) an indigenous perspective on wellness; (2) criminal jurisdiction in Indian country; (3) an overview of Federal statutes regarding child sexual abuse; (4) a description of victim-assistance programs; (5) the United States Courts of Appeals decisions regarding child sexual abuse; medico-legal issues in the evaluation of child sexual abuse; (6) guidelines for evaluating the sexual abuse of children; and (6) psychological and scientific evidence in criminal trials.
