B. Where They Are Being Trafficked

The sex trafficking of Native women and girls does not follow any predominant geographic pattern. Advocates in Minnesota and Washington report trafficking of Native women from reservation to reservation, off reservations to cities within the region, and wholly within reservations. Given the large number of American Indians living in urban centers today, much sex trafficking is city to city or wholly within a city. Advocates in Minnesota also report trafficking from reservations onto boats moored at the Port of Duluth on Lake Superior.
