Hi Cindy,

I had the pleasure of meeting you briefly at JCLC last month and joining in on the tribal dance you led during the BCALA social.

Libraries<https://consumer.ftc.gov/features/librarians> have been some of the FTC’s strongest partnerships on getting the word out about consumer protection issues. I’m reaching out to share the FTC’s newest data report: Consumer Issues Affecting American Indian and Alaska Native Communities<https://consumer.ftc.gov/consumer-alerts/2023/03/consumer-issues-affecting-american-indian-and-alaska-native-communities>. I think the findings would be useful in the hands of AILA members, librarians at large, and consumers who are interested and invested in helping people in AI/AN communities spot, avoid, and report fraud and scams. Also, at ftc.gov/NativeAmerican<https://consumer.ftc.gov/features/native-american-communities-spot-avoid-and-report-scams> you can find the report and free FTC resources in print and online to show your patrons how to spot, avoid, and report scams.

I hope you’ll find a few minutes to check out the report and share it with your AILA network. Please let me know if you’d like to connect with my colleagues who are actively doing outreach.

Sincerely,

Terri Miller | Division of Consumer & Business Education| Bureau of Consumer Protection

Scammers and dishonest businesses can target people in unique ways, so it’s important to understand how communities are affected — and at times, differently affected — by consumer protection issues. A new FTC report focuses on the agency's recent efforts to identify frauds, scams, and bad business practices that impact American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities.
