Native American women are 2.5 times more likely to experience sexual assault than all other American women. 1 in 3 Native women reports having been raped during her lifetime, and 86% of the offenses are committed by non-Native men. These perpetrators exploit gaps in tribal jurisdictional authority and target Native women as “safe victims.”
Sisters Rising follows six women who refuse to let this pattern of violence continue in the shadows: a tribal cop in the midst of the North Dakota oil boom, an attorney fighting to overturn restrictions on tribal sovereignty, an Indigenous women’s self-defense instructor, grassroots advocates working to influence legislative change, and the author of the first anti-sex trafficking code to be introduced to a reservation’s tribal court. Their stories shine an unflinching light on righting injustice on both an individual and systemic level. 

  "The abhorrent violence that is a constant in the lives of Indigenous peoples impacts Indigenous women first,”
says Co-producer Jaida Grey Eagle (Ogala Lakota). 
“We are on the frontlines of an ongoing legacy of violent colonization,
and it is vitally important that the world see and hear us.” 
​Produced and Directed by Willow O'Feral and Brad Heck.
Co-Produced by Jaida Grey Eagle, Executive Producer:  Tantoo Cardinal


Sisters Rising has been awarded Best Documentary Feature 2020 at the American Indian Film Festival,  Best Film Award at the Women's Voices Now Festival 2021, and the Thaddeus Stevens Award at the Middlebury New Filmmakers Festival.  It is a powerful feature documentary about six Native American women
​reclaiming personal & tribal sovereignty.
