In this outtake from Vanguard's "Rape on the Reservation," correspondent Mariana van Zeller talks with Rosebud's tribal prosecutor and attorney general about the limited resources and sentencing power of tribal courts.
The prosecution of major crimes committed on Indian reservations, such as murder and rape, falls under the jurisdiction of the federal government. But if the feds decline to prosecute, victims may choose to pursue justice at the tribal court level.
"Vanguard," airing weekly on Current TV Wednesdays at 10/9c, is a no-limits documentary series whose award-winning correspondents put themselves in extraordinary situations to immerse viewers in global issues that have a large social significance. Unlike sound-bite driven reporting, the show's correspondents, Adam Yamaguchi, Kaj Larsen, Christof Putzel and Mariana van Zeller, serve as trusted guides who take viewers on in-depth real life adventures in pursuit of some of the world's most important stories.
