Native Americans Are Some Of The Most Vulnerable To Sex Trafficking | Fronteras Desk: Sex trafficking is not new to Native Americans. When Europeans began to colonize in the late 1800s, many Native women and girls became a commodity. Lisa Heth runs the Pathfinder Center, a refuge for human trafficking victims in South Dakota.
“They couldn’t feed their families,” Heth said. “And so then some of the mothers were starting to sell their daughters to some of the soldiers.”
Today, history is repeating itself.
“Families will sell their young daughters for alcohol or drugs,” Heth said. “We’re seeing that more and more on our reservations.”
