- For those who ask themselves "What on earth is this page talking about?!" I'd best translate: It is, in part, talking about native indian women working as prostitutes in and around the big cities. Macdonald-ross (talk) 13:15, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Macdonald-ross: What do you mean? It appears to be about indigenous women who are missing or who have been murdered. --IWI (talk) 14:40, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
- Well, I read this (from En wiki) as something important:
- "Law enforcement, journalists, and activists in Indigenous communities in both the US and Canada have fought to bring awareness to the connection between sex trafficking, sexual harassment, sexual assault, and the women who go missing and are murdered.[1][2][3]"
- It is hard indeed to understand what our page is saying or not saying. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Macdonald-ross (talk • contribs)
- Yeah I am a little confused. This article appears to be very straight forward, but maybe it is because I am in one of the countries there this is talked about a lot. The sex trafficking component is just one of the many factors that leads into the crisis of missing and murdered indigenous women. But that isn't really the only thing. -Djsasso (talk) 19:22, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

A number of studies, reports, and congressional hearings now connect man camps—which can be used in mines and other extractive efforts as well—with increased rates of sexual violence and sex trafficking. ... The most well-documented cases thus far have occurred in the Tar Sands region of Alberta, Canada, as well as in western North Dakota and eastern Montana—an area known otherwise as the Bakken oil fields—though such activity is in no way exclusive to the region.
