The Breaking Cycles of Violence Conference, formerly the Tribal Leader Summit, is a key gathering that prioritizes Tribal government officials, organizational and agency advocates as well as direct service providers. This conference brings together these stakeholders to address the critical issues of violence in New Mexico’s Tribal communities through the lens of federal, state, and tribal laws. It provides a platform for discussing the unique challenges faced by Tribal communities in responding to violence, with a particular focus on violence against women, and aims to foster collaboration across tribal, state, and federal perspectives to strengthen the response to these issues.
