Indian Country Today, an American Indian newspaper is publishing a four part story on murdered and missing Indigenous women in Canadian Provinces. There are several Native women's organizations that have been trying to gain greater publicity on the atrocities taking place in the Canadian cities with regard to Native women and girls. Although records of the murders have been documented it seems as though the law enforcement community is not taking the issues with the appropriate speed and conceren necessary in order to bring these killings to a halt. In Minneapolis during the mid-80's there was also a rash of muders, not all were Native women, but many victims were Native females. In that instance the American Indian Movement and several other prominent Native organizations took it upon themselves to ensure the appropriate course of action was taken by the city of Minneapolis law enforcement and other related agencies. In the caser of the Canadian murders and missing persons reports it seems as though the Canadian authorities are deluged in apathetic behavior. Many of the missing are being suspected to have been indoctrinated into the huiman sex slave trade for service and eventual disposal.
ICT has managed to obtain some first person reports that lead the readers to obtain a sordid glimpse into the atrocities that accompany this type of business. It also appears that Canada is being viewed as a safehaven for pedophile/sex master types from all around the world who apparently practice their trade without fear of being caught or legal retribution. And for reasons only the victimizers know there seems to be a growing affection for Native women and girls who are sold into this trafficing practice. My first post is an effort to inform and disseminate information via WWW on this particular issue.
In reading A Woman in Charge, by Carl Bernstein, he writes about Hillary Clinton's historical relationship with Marien Wright Edelman, founder of the Children's Defense Fund. And seeing that historical concern it is hard to believe that these horrid atrocities are taking place in Canadian Provinces and that very little attention is being given to this issue. The numbers of women and girls missing and or mudered are staggering, maybe in the thousands. Hopefully by writing this blog there will be an interest piqued for more information.
