摘要：

The author presents a case study and personal story about a group of community members initiating a women's shelter in a rural American Indian reservation community. Problems are identified and their resolutions described in organizing a community group, encountering community resistance, locating the shelter, raising funds, and developing procedures for operating the shelter. Lessons learned by the group are provided to illustrate possible solutions to problems that other community groups may encounter when seeking to open a women's shelter in a rural American Indian community.
