November is National Native American Heritage Month

 Each year, the president proclaims November National Native American Heritage Month. As we celebrate Indigenous peoples in the United States, Blue Campaign encourages you to learn more about the history, culture, and traditions of American Indians and Alaska Natives in our country.

Blue Campaign has developed awareness and training resources to help these communities combat human trafficking. If you are interested in learning more about human trafficking’s impact on Native communities or want to raise awareness of the issue, please review and share the following resources:

• Poster Series – The Campaign’s human trafficking awareness poster series for Native communities features culturally-relevant images and messages for display in places such as schools, community centers, and offices.
• Facebook Live – Blue Campaign hosted a Facebook Live with representatives from organizations serving Native communities. Panelists discussed the importance of reaching this community with information about human trafficking and what their organizations are doing to combat the crime.
• Webinar – This webinar for law enforcement provides information on how to recognize and respond to Native American victims of human trafficking.
• Scenario Video – Human trafficking can happen to anyone and this video shows a potential scenario that could occur in Native communities.
