In recognition of National Human Trafficking Prevention Month, CSVANW uplifts Truckers Against Trafficking, a nonprofit equipping truckers and transportation workers to recognize and respond to trafficking every day. #EndTrafficking #ProtectOurRelatives #ReclaimingSafetyTogether
Prevention is a collective responsibility. Supporting survivors means investing in safe housing, survivor-centered programs, cultural knowledge, and early prevention. Transparency protects survivors. Secrecy protects abusers. #EndTrafficking #ProtectOurRelatives #ReclaimingSafetyTogether
CSVANW advocates for survivor safety and dignity. We endorse survivor-centered legislation to protect privacy, ensure justice, and support victim services. #CSVANW #CycleBreakers #ProtectOurRelatives
When distressing news impacts our communities, reactions will vary. Some speak out; others withdraw. There’s no “right” response. What matters is listening without judgment, respecting boundaries, and making space for rest. Community care moves at the pace of safety and dignity. #ProtectOurRelatives
When disturbing headlines surface, conversations can feel heavy. You don’t need all the answers to lead with care. Name feelings, share gently, and center safety and choice. It’s okay to pause, step back from the news, and lean into grounding.#EndTrafficking#ProtectOurRelatives
Nearly 40% of people involved in sex trafficking at surveyed sites identified as Native. Over 30% of trafficked Native women experienced foster care involvement, and 79% faced childhood sexual abuse.

Look for the signs. Protect our relatives. Sex trafficking can show up as sudden emotional, physical, or behavioral changes: fear, withdrawal, unexplained gifts, substance use, or school/work struggles. Silence enables harm. Awareness creates safety. Your safety is sacred. #ProtectOurRelatives
Human trafficking can happen in Tribal communities, and awareness saves lives. It involves exploitation through force, fraud, or coercion. Any youth under 18 in commercial sex or forced labor is a trafficking victim. Your safety is sacred. #EndTrafficking #ProtectOurRelatives
Our bodies carry our stories. It is connected to our ancestors and rooted with their teachings.
At CSVANW, we center our work toward healing and strength. We walk alongside survivors and relatives as they reclaim balance.

There’s something deeply unsettling about this, êkwa — not just the act itself, but what it reveals. A congressionally mandated report on Missing and Murdered Indigenous People — Not One More — quietly stripped from federal websites under the banner of “reviewing DEI materials.” But this isn’t DEI. This isn’t politics. This isn’t a culture war talking point. This is our daughters. Our sons. Our relatives. Our stolen ones. This report held over 250 testimonies — the voices of survivors, mothers, aunties, families who have been carrying grief heavier than any government document. It carried recommendations that could save lives, protect communities, and finally place accountability where it belongs. And it was removed. Think about that. A report created by law. A report ordered under a bipartisan act — one that President Trump himself signed. Taken down as though it were optional. As though these stories can be deleted as easily as a webpage. But our people know: tâpwêwin — truth — doesn’t disappear just because someone tries to hide it. Our stories live in the bodies that carry them. Our grief lives in the land. Our determination lives in every relative who refuses to be silent. And that’s what’s happening now. Tribal leaders, advocates, and lawmakers — from both sides of the aisle — are standing up. Because this isn’t about left or right. It’s about right and wrong. It’s about the ongoing crisis we have been screaming about for generations while the world pretended not to hear. Even if the link is gone, the work is not. Copies of Not One More are still held by our nations, our advocates, our warriors for justice. They are still using it. They are still fighting. They are still saying what our people have always said: Not one more stolen sister. Not one more stolen brother. Not one more family left in the dark. You can remove a report from a website. You cannot remove a people from their own truth. êkosi. —Kanipawit Maskwa #MMIPAwareness #TruthNotErased #IndigenousJu…

Executive Director Monique Mousseau shared: “I just didn’t want to be the cause of somebody getting killed.” She’s received death threats, & on Election Day, a 13-year-old threw a bat at her. These threats are real. They are fueled by extremist politics. 2/3
