Leaders said Friday that a dedicated team has found 23 Navajos, including seven women, in the last 24 hours.
Earlier this week, Arizona officials announced potentially thousands of vulnerable Native Americans have been taken off the reservations and driven to Phoenix with promises of food and shelter. They’re promised treatment for their substance abuse by behavioral health companies who are allegedly scamming the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System.
The governor said once the patients arrived at the treatment centers they weren't allowed to leave or contact family. Some escaped by climbing through windows and scaling fences. However, Phoenix isn’t the only city experiencing this fraudulent activity. The City of Gallup, New Mexico says members of nearby tribes, including Zuni Tribal members, are being targeted by perpetrators there.
Tribal officials are speaking out to bring awareness to the happenings and bring proper access to treatment centers to those who need them.
