October Stop Trafficking Newsletter

 

Human Trafficking in Native American Communities

 

Columbus wrote in his journals, a hundred castellanos are as easily obtained for a woman as for a farm, and it is very general and there are plenty of dealers who go about looking for girls; those from nine to ten are now in demand.

(letter of Columbus to the Nurse of Prince John, American Journey's Collection)

The October Stop Trafficking Newsletter places a spotlight on Human Trafficking and Native American AND Indigenous  Communities in Canada, the U.S.A., and Globally.

Commenting on this issue of Human Trafficking and the Native Peoples experience, J.M.  Shashone-Bannock Tribal Member said the following: 

‘I was embarrassed to tell anyone, I didn’t want to shame my family, I wanted to die.  I eventually escaped and now work fighting trafficking.  I never want anyone to go through what I went through.  It’s important to know the signs and have the tools to protect yourself.  Hold events, movie screens, and talk to your friends and family about human trafficking.  If you see something suspicious report it.  You can save a life and make a difference in your community.”
