Black Coffee Worship x Lilith: Standing With Native Women — A Call for Awareness, Respect, and Change
At Black Coffee Worship, our art is dark, visceral, and unapologetic — much like the truths we confront, both in canvas and in life. Today we’re shining a spotlight on a crisis that has persisted too long in silence: the disproportionate violence against Native American and Alaska Native women — a reality as grim as the blackest brew and as urgent as the first cup in the morning.
We’re proud to announce our new collaborative coffee release with the haunting and visceral sounds of Lilith — and with this blend, we’re pouring more than flavour into your cup. A portion of proceeds will be donated to the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women (CSVANW) donor page, a powerful grassroots organisation dedicated to ending gender-based violence against Native women and children. You can also explore Lilith’s music and ethos connected to this cause here: https://lilithnm.bandcamp.com/.
A Crisis Hidden in Plain Sight: The Statistics
The violence faced by Native American and Alaska Native women isn’t an abstract problem — it’s a documented crisis:
Staggering Rates of Violence
-
An estimated 84.3% of American Indian and Alaska Native women have experienced violence in their lifetimes.
-
Over 56% have experienced sexual violence, and more than 55% have faced intimate partner violence.
-
Indigenous women are disproportionately affected by murder, rape, and violent crime — with some statistics indicating murder rates up to ten times higher than the national average in reservation communities.
-
The FBI reports thousands of violent and sexual crimes against American Indian and Alaska Native female victims in just three years of data collection (2021–2023).
These figures are more than numbers — they reflect lived realities, uprooted families, stolen futures, and communities bruised by systemic neglect.
Why These Numbers Matter
Too often these statistics are hidden in reports with difficult names. Too often Indigenous voices — particularly women’s voices — are marginalized in conversations about gender-based violence. Too often perpetrators face little consequence, and survivors navigate layers of legal, cultural, and institutional barriers just to be heard.
For centuries, Native American women have endured violence rooted in colonial histories and sustained through systemic failings. Ending this cycle requires awareness, accountability, and coordinated community action — including funding for grassroots efforts led by Native advocates themselves.
