Native children are easy pickings in Alaska. Alaska has a HUGE problem with exploitation of its indigenous women and girls. There is generational trauma, which makes it easier for them to be preyed upon. They're more likely to be homeless and vulnerable. There's poverty. These girls are more likely to be groomed and then trafficked. These girls are easy targets: people are less likely to care about native girls and women being sex trafficked, pimped out and raped.

Native American children are overrepresented [in foster care] at a rate that is 2.7 times their rate in the general population” and as many as 40 percent of Native children and youth live in poverty. The same factors which contribute to the marginalization of Native youth in society as a whole, also contribute to their heightened vulnerability to human trafficking.

Native communities also experience an additional layer of risk from intergenerational trauma patterns associated with the history of tribal relocations, boarding schools, and large-scale adoptions of Native children. These unique historical experiences have increased the likelihood that Native women and girls will encounter situations of exploitation at some point in their lives.

What's sad is that Native Americans band together and protest a pipeline but show NO concern for working together to stop an atrocity against kids. Not good Indians! Not good.

What can be done if so much of LE view these victims as essentially worthless and a drain on society? I've read info that LE higher ups in Canada are either directly involved and enjoying sexual favors, looking the other way due to payola, and/or at least know the identities of most of the perps.

A couple of the serial murderers in SF and Northern CA were said to also be responsible for some of the victims of "the trail of tears," especially when the young women threatened to identity LE and politicians participating in their abuse at a big profit. Snuff films have documented their demise. Note those drugged and forced to participate in wild exhibitions at "pig farms," along with women prisoners who supposedly would not be missed after not returning from a brief visit to "friends" and accidentally OD'ing.
