(KNZA)--Two northeast Kansas Indian tribes will receive a total of more than $2 million in Department of Justice grants for public safety
U.S. Attorney Stephen McAllister made the announcement Wednesday in a news release.
The Prairie Band Potawatomi tribe will receive two grants totaling more than $1.5 million.
The Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska will receive a nearly $506,000 grant.
McAllister said the funds will assist the tribes in their efforts to protect and support the victims and survivors of violence, to hold violent actors responsible and to prevent future violence by addressing the causes of violence in their communities.
