Many Tribes across the country are taking the initiative to stop or prevent human

trafficking from occurring on Tribal lands, or to Tribal citizens. Several Tribes have

adopted laws against the crime of human trafficking. In addition, many have

implemented awareness-raising training for Tribal casino employees. This work

protects tribal citizens, casino patrons, and nearby communities.

The NIGC is providing these resources to raise awareness

about the issue and promote public safety.
TRAFFICKERS DON’T

DISCRIMINATE.

Anyone can become

a victim of human

trafficking.

Human trafficking is modern-day slavery

and involves the use of force, fraud, or

coercion to obtain some type of labor or

commercial sex act.

Millions of men, women, and children are

trafficked into forced labor situations and

into the sex trade worldwide.

It is a crime that is often “hidden in plain

sight” and targets the most vulnerable

members of society. Victims can be any

age, race, gender, or nationality. American

Indians and Alaska Natives have been

identified as particularly vulnerable

populations in the United States, due to

factors including, but not limited to poverty,

previous abuse, and historical trauma.

Human trafficking is different from

human smuggling. Trafficking is

exploitation-based and does not require

movement across borders or any type of

transportation (smuggling).
