MMIWG Inquiry Anniversary
On June 3, 2019, Reclaiming Power and Place: The Final Report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.
The report goes into detail on the struggle families have with authorities over loved ones that have either been murdered or gone missing – and labels what Indigenous women have experienced since colonization as genocide.
The commissioners released 231 Calls for Justice from provincial, territorial and federal authorities.
