Southern Methodist University held a weeklong series of workshops in October on Native American issues that included a detailed look at the trafficking of women and children in Indian Country. The workshop in Dallas, Texas, examined research by Christine Stark and Eileen Hudon of the Minnesota Indian Women's Sexual Assault Coalition on the history and societal factors contributing to the exploitation and trafficking of women and children in Indian Country.

Members of the AMBER in Indian Country team joined Stark and Hudon to discuss how victims from Native American communities are caught up in the world of prostitution and sexual exploitation. The series called “Native Peoples: Inherent Rights & Forgotten Voices” educates students and faculty members about Native Americans.
