After more than three years, dozens of community meetings and testimony from well over 2,000 Canadians, the missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls inquiry delivered its final report to the federal government at a ceremony in Gatineau, Que., today.

The report includes many recommendations to government, the police and the larger Canadian public to help address endemic levels of violence directed at Indigenous women and girls and 2SLGBTQQIA (two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex and asexual) people.

A copy of the final, 1,200-page report — and its 231 "calls for justice" — is available here.

Videos at above article, this must be a pretty big deal in Canada.

BBC:

Canada complicit in 'race-based genocide'



Canada is complicit in a "race-based genocide" against indigenous women, a long-awaited government inquiry has concluded.

The report found indigenous women were 12 times more likely to be killed or to disappear than other women in Canada.

Released Monday, the report was many years in the making.

Among more than 200 recommendations is a call for all Canadians to help end violence, including by learning indigenous history.

I would think, if they are guilty, we probably are too.

It was called to my attention that AG Barr is in Alaska and Alaska is probably suffering this same kind of phenomena.

I might post this later in National. Does one ever see charts of say states with the most rapes or maybe just high crime rate and one is surprised to see Alaska mentioned? I am.  Not to poke at the indigenous folks, eskimos or whomever but they may well be the reason.

Barr comes to learn about violence in the village

BUT WERE TABOO TOPICS DISCUSSED — OR AVOIDED?

U.S. Attorney General William Barr came to Alaska from Washington, D.C. to learn about violence against Natives.

He participated in a roundtable discussion with Sen. Dan Sullivan at the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium in Anchorage. He travelled to Bethel and Galena. He listened. He observed Native dancers in a community center in Napaskiak.

He is the first U.S. Attorney General to ever visit rural Alaska, the first to visit a women’s shelter in Bethel or travel by boat to a remote village.

Later in the article, excerpt:

Right now, in an Alaska Native village that must go unnamed, troopers are looking for an extremely dangerous man. The man is Native and he is on the loose.
