Understanding Circle Justice
On the Mille Lacs Reservation in Minnesota some criminal offenders are offered an alternative to doing time in a
way that integrates North American Indian spirituality and the United States' justice system. With the cooperation of
traditional municipal and criminal courts, criminals who plead guilty to certain types of crimes are allowed by the court to sign an
agreement accepting responsibility for their wrongdoing and committing themselves to working through a spiritually based process to
change their behavior and make restitution to the victims and their community. This alternative approach to dealing with criminals is called
"circle sentencing" and comes from a Native American practice called "talking circles".
Directions: Write a scenario for a Justice Circle. Decide on an offender and his offense, his victim, and list others who would attend the
circle.
