Police arrested Mark, and state prosecutors offered him a deal: If he attended a 52-week batterers intervention program, the charges would be dismissed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mark said he “participated fully.” He learned to walk away from a fight, to take a time out. It was progress. But he’d realize later how much he still didn’t know – about himself and the roots of his violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I loved her and I loved my children, and I wanted to be better,” Mark said. “But I didn’t know how to get there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Addiction in Indian Country\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>After Mark completed his program, he said he “continued to work on myself and work on myself.” But, for four more years, he “was still using meth.” In the late '90s, he managed to quit. Then came the opioid explosion, “when the doctors were basically giving away, just as many as you want.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a laborer with regular injuries, he had access to that open tap.

Then, in 2013, Mark quit the opioids. And they reunited, both of them clean and sober. Then, a few years later, a tragedy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their adult daughter died in a single-vehicle accident. Mark and Lydia sank into depression and isolation. Complicating matters, Mark said, they’d been trying to persuade their daughter to leave an abusive partner, and she was resisting. That caused a rift in their relationship with her, so “we didn’t get to spend the last years with her. It started creating this hell, this guilt.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During a Sunday argument, Lydia scratched Mark’s nose while trying to knock a cigarette from his mouth. He called 911. This time, Lydia was arrested.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It just so happened, the couple’s adult son had a court date the next day – on a domestic violence charge. Lydia had planned to be there to support him. Instead, she showed up as another defendant in a jail jumpsuit. Charged with domestic abuse, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just can’t imagine how he must have felt,” Lydia said of her son, “to see me walk in there the next morning, on the other side.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A path to healing\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>There’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.apa.org/monitor/2018/02/cover-healing-heritage\">growing consensus\u003c/a> in Indian Country across the nation that the most effective way to alleviate symptoms of historical trauma like domestic violence and substance abuse is to incorporate traditional cultural values and \u003ca href=\"https://www.dissentmagazine.org/online_articles/restorative-justice-in-indian-country\">forms of justice\u003c/a>.

Yurok Judge Abby Abinanti was among them, and decades later she would deepen her commitment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2010, she began to expand the Yurok tribal justice system, launching a dedicated court docket to help tribal members struggling with substance abuse. To help participants repair the harm they’ve caused, so they could heal. So the community could heal. She called it \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/local/la-me-yurok-tribal-judge-20140305-dto-htmlstory.html\">Wellness Court\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you look at the state and federal system, they're very rights-based,” Abinanti said. “Our culture is very responsibility-based. And the responsibilities are interlocking in family and in community. So you have to assist people to meet their responsibility and come back into community in a good way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State court judges started releasing Yurok defendants to Abinanti’s court – and seeing results. So in 2015, she decided it was time to reach more tribal members cycling through county jail. A laborious rolling cross-tally of two separate databases revealed which Yurok members were incarcerated and why. The most common offense: domestic violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Walking the path\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Many defendants, it turned out, were in county jail for violating probation. For not completing the state’s 52 week batterer’s intervention program – the same one Mark had attended. One barrier was financial. Even at the lowest end of the sliding scale, the state program cost $1,000. There were transportation and child care problems, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Abinanti’s team decided to create their own 52-week batterers’ program, one that drew on core cultural values, and get the state to certify it as an option for state court defendants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The prevalence of domestic violence was startling yet unsurprising. Surveys and focus groups conducted a few years earlier by the \u003ca href=\"https://nctcc.org/\">Northern California Tribal Court Coalition\u003c/a> – a collective of tribal judges – revealed the scope of the crisis. Nearly half the women and a fifth of the men who \u003ca href=\"https://www.courtinnovation.org/sites/default/files/documents/NCTCC_Responses_D_V.pdf\">responded\u003c/a> said they’d been abused by a partner. Drugs and alcohol played a role about two-thirds of the time. Lack of trust in law enforcement and state court systems was common. So was a lack of awareness of services at the county level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And participants “generally believed that these services lacked a necessary cultural component to ensure they were appropriate for a Native American population.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court coalition stepped up to help build the Yurok batterers program, funding the training for two facilitators. It launched in 2016, with state certification, the first of its kind in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The curriculum includes the basics: Take full responsibility for your actions and identify your triggers. Specific Yurok cultural practices aren’t on the agenda. Because, the only way to make the program pencil out was to open it to everyone – tribal members from throughout the region and non-tribal members, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11888130\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11888130\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/LoriNesbitt.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1315\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/LoriNesbitt.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/LoriNesbitt-800x548.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/LoriNesbitt-1020x699.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/LoriNesbitt-160x110.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/09/LoriNesbitt-1536x1052.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yurok tribal member Lori Nesbitt was the founding facilitator of the Yurok Batterers Intervention Program, which takes a restorative approach to healing and emphasizes the roots of intergenerational trauma.

All participants make a family tree, and conduct an interview with a community elder outside their immediate family about that generation’s experiences with domestic abuse. Participants are pressed to identify not just the family members that led them astray, but the ones who taught them cultural practices and helped root them to a sense of self – whatever their culture. Most of all, Nesbitt said she acknowledges past pain as the deep generational roots of family violence come to light.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Once you've gone through this program, you can kind of acknowledge that, ‘Yeah some things happened.

But while she worked her program, Mark went to counseling and to a Christian faith-based recovery program that, he said, flooded him with “realizations and epiphanies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I started learning about what PTSD was,” he said, \"and what it does to your body and the fear and how it paralyzes you...just understanding my life.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They have now reunited, and both say a big part of their healing is participating in their own tribal community, giving back.

Surveys and focus groups conducted a few years earlier by the \u003ca href=\"https://nctcc.org/\">Northern California Tribal Court Coalition\u003c/a> – a collective of tribal judges – revealed the scope of the crisis. Nearly half the women and a fifth of the men who \u003ca href=\"https://www.courtinnovation.org/sites/default/files/documents/NCTCC_Responses_D_V.pdf\">responded\u003c/a> said they’d been abused by a partner. Drugs and alcohol played a role about two-thirds of the time. Lack of trust in law enforcement and state court systems was common. So was a lack of awareness of services at the county level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And participants “generally believed that these services lacked a necessary cultural component to ensure they were appropriate for a Native American population.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court coalition stepped up to help build the Yurok batterers program, funding the training for two facilitators. It launched in 2016, with state certification, the first of its kind in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The curriculum includes the basics: Take full responsibility for your actions and identify your triggers.

In 2002, a year after his water was shut off, tens of thousands of salmon died downstream, in Yurok country, near Blue Creek.
