Eleanor E. Roehrig Advocate Award
Eleanor E. Roehrig, a member of the San Carlos Apache Tribe was a loving mother, grandmother, sister, niece, and auntie. She was a founding member of the Southwest Indigenous Women’s Coalition (SWIWC) and the first President of the Council of Women – the governing board for SWIWC. Eleanor exemplified unyielding tenacious advocacy at the tribal grassroots level. On a state and national level Eleanor was known for her work as a thriving survivor, a dedicated advocate, and for her unrelenting aspiration to bring awareness of the domestic and sexual violence issues impacting tribal communities.
Eleanor often spoke of the tragic death of one of her sisters that was the result of domestic violence and of her own survival of domestic and sexual violence. It was these experiences and her desire to protect her beloved children and grandchildren that fueled her passion in the movement to end violence against Native women. Eleanor was a gentle, but fierce woman warrior who left this world on January 08, 2010. Although she is gone, her spirit, compassion, and ambition live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
In honor of Eleanor, we are presenting the Eleanor E. Roehrig Advocate Award to five outstanding individuals who demonstrate unwavering commitment, compassion, and tenacity in their work responding to survivors of domestic and sexual violence; and who are diligent in supporting victim-centered advocacy, offender accountability, safety, and healing.
