The National Tribal Clearinghouse on Sexual Assault (NTCSA) is a comprehensive resource hub that supports our Tribal communities with resources and education dedicated to improving the response to sexual assault. The NTCSA was developed by the Minnesota Indian Women’s Sexual Assault Coalition (MIWSAC) and the International Association of Forensic Nurses (IAFN). The NTCSA is designed and informed by the community and those who work with American Indian and Alaska Native victims of sexual assault and the needs they identity, with a focus on increasing access for resources such as culturally appropriate training and technical assistance with a focus on sovereignty, victim safety and offender accountability, on issues related to sexual assault in Indigenous communities.
