In this scene from "Rape on the Reservation," correspondent Mariana van Zeller visits a retreat for Native American women who are coping with sexual violence. In Rapid City, a very different kind of recovery -- for Indian sex offenders who have served time for committing rape or other sex crimes.

According to national statistics, one in three Native American women will be raped in their lifetimes. In "Rape on the Reservation," Vanguard correspondent Mariana Van Zeller travels to Rosebud reservation in South Dakota to investigate the alarmingly high incidence of rape and sexual assaults.

"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.
