One of Deer's former bosses and long-time friend, Sarah Jane Russell, said Deer deserved the grant for all of her efforts and hard work.
Alumna named MacArthur Fellow

Native American women living on reservations suffer one of the highest per capita rates of violent crime in the world, according to Sarah Deer. Deer, who attended the University for part of her undergraduate degree, as well as law school, has been named a MacArthur Fellow by the MacArthur Foundation because of her hopes to change just that. The award recognizes her strides to improve Native American women's restricted access to resources that prosecute crimes based on sexual, domestic and gender violence.
A member of the Muscogee Creek Nation of Oklahoma,
The prestigious award, given to individuals for outstanding qualities, has presented Deer with a $625,000, no-strings-attached grant for her advocacy in tribal and federal law, specifically her work with abused Native women. Deer said she can keep doing what she's been doing, but with less financial hardship. Deer said she focuses on the intersection of Federal Indian Law and the rights of victims of crime.
Deer has initiated efforts into adequately protecting victims of physical and sexual abuse in Indian country. She is progressively shaping the support and protection of Native women by standing up for their rights through the legal system.
shocked," Deer said. "I never thought something like that would happen to me and I had to keep it a secret. I had to kind of keep my excitement to myself, I was only allowed to tell my husband."
Deer was born in Silver Spring, Md., but moved to Kansas when she was only a year old and grew up in Wichita. She transferred to the University as a junior where she received her Bachelor of Arts. Her interest in women's issues began as an undergrad when she worked for the GaDuGi SafeCenter. Deer continued to the University's School of Law where she was better able to execute her passion for advocacy.
"Sarah has always had such a passion for helping Native women and working to resolve bigger issues," Russell said.
"I started volunteering there right when I got to Lawrence and working with these amazing women that had survived a really horrible experience was inspirational to me and I wanted to be in a position to provide more support," Deer said. In 2013, Deer initiated the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act restored much of the authority that was stripped
from tribal governments. This gives tribal courts the power to prosecute non-Native American citizens who assault Native spouses or dating partners or violate a protection order on tribal lands.
The MacArthur Foundation was established by two philanthropists to fund a variety of different programs in the United States and abroad. Deer said they give these fellowships annually to between 20 and 25 people and that the grant is paid out over the course of five years. Currently, Deer is a full-time law professor at the William Mitchell College of Law and raises awareness regarding Native women's issues. Deer says she spends much of her time lobbying on Capitol Hill for legal changes in order to help these women live better lives.
"I never thought something like that would happen to me and I had to keep it a secret."
Being named a MacArthur Fellow is a fairly secretive process, Deer said. She said she still doesn't know who nominated her to this day. "You must be nominated to become a fellow, but the people who can nominate are selected by the foundation to avoid an overload of nominees," Deer said.
The MacArthur Fellow grant came as quite a surprise to Deer. The grant was announced to her in early September, but she said she had to keep it a secret, despite her excitement, for a few weeks.

tions has also been working on the film "God Grant Me," premiering Oct. 16 at Liberty Hall.
Maddox said he hadn't slept in three days because they were on a tight deadline to get the film ready to submit to Sundance Music Festival, along with 20 other festivals across the country.
Despite their eclectic array of artistic products, music remains their first priority. Maddox, Edmondson and Mootz are all serious musicians themselves — all three perform in Lawrence regularly.
"All being musicians, we know what things are supposed to sound like," said Mootz, a guitar player from Kansas City, Kan.
In addition to musical expertise, they also describe their studio as being a relaxed atmosphere, complete with a full-service kitchen.
Mootz said that comfortability adds to the music creation process. He described other recording studios as feeling as if he were in a hospital, with rigid rules and a sterile vibe.
"Maybe if you're lucky, we'll cook you wings," Edmondson said. "You can come out here and bring a six-pack, relax and do your album."
"Ultimately (Attic Traffic is) about comfort," Mootz said. "You can come be yourself, get comfortable and play and let the music flow how it would in any other setting."
