No More Missing or Murdered Relatives
Eric Poemoceah
I am writing this
Informative Post today Because I have seen many of my Beautiful First
Nation's Relatives come up missing or Murdered & it Break's my Heart
in more ways than one. I ask not only First Nation's Women to Read
& Share this but I ask that all People Read & Share this because
anyone can become a Victim, EVEN MEN!!
First Nation's are
victimized by human trafficking at rates higher than that of any other
Ethnicity. Though statistics are few and far between, testimony from
experts, activists, and tribal leaders – as well as independent
investigations – have revealed a disproportionate impact. A Study
conducted in the U.S. and Canada, “an average of 40 percent of women
involved in sex trafficking were identified as an AI/AN or First
Nations,” yet First Nation women only represent 9% or less of the
general population in communities studied.
Also Did you know that
non-First Nation's cannot be arrested or prosecuted by tribes for Human
Trafficking instead they fall under federal jurisdiction – allowing
non-First Nation traffickers to operate with little risk. A 2012 UN
Report estimates that almost 80 percent of rapes of First Nation's women
occur at the hands of non-First Nation's men, highlighting this
dangerous gap in enforcement. Support services for at-risk individuals
and survivors are also limited for First Nation's girls and women due
to a lack of resources. For example, a 2016 survey identified a large
gap in access to services; over two-thirds of the 650 tribal lands
reviewed experienced a significant dearth of access to sexual assault
examiners and sexual assault response team programs, while 381 reported
no service coverage within an hour’s driving distance.
Another big
Factor of First Nation's Women that are Trafficked is The proliferation
of the fracking industry this also contributed to a rise in sex
trafficking of First Nation's girls and women as “man camps” were
established in remote areas of Minnesota, North Dakota, and South
Dakota, creating a high-demand for sex in an environment rampant with
drugs, alcohol, and limited supervision. While there was widespread
media coverage of the rise of sex trafficking in the Bakken, discussion
of its impact on First Nation girls and women was limited. What i wonder
is Why is it a Big issue & all over the Media if just one person of
the caucasian race is Missing but nothing is being Published while
Thousands of First Nations Women are Missing?!?! Every Since a European
man mistakenly came to what is now known as the United States in 1492,
First Nation's Women have Been Lusted after, Murdered & Raped.
I'm not trying to scare anybody out there but I do want people to know
what is really going on out in this world. Remember Relatives their are
internet Predators that try to lure First Nation's Women, Men &
Children in to a trap & it could ultimately cost you your life!!
Please take picture's & do only video's that are appropriate for
your parent's to watch. Showing a bunch of skin or showing your body off
for the world to see means your asking for trouble with these
predators. Predators will not think twice about taking you & never
bringing you back!! Please do not fall victim to these predators. Urako
for Reading & Caring enough to Share this Post to Any & All
Relatives!! I Love you All & will pray for All Missing &
Murdered Indigenous Peoples & their Families.
