Every first nation's people I have ever met are some of the kindest and most welcoming people I have ever met. The generational trauma and abuse breaks my heart 💔 EVERY life has value and the missing woman deserves to be found!

@@shawnbechard3680 No offense but this Tedtalk is being done because of the record number of Indigenous women who are being murdered and stolen, at a higher rate than any other race. It's not meant to marginalize men who suffered it's brought up because the Media hardly never covers and people don't know about it.

To demand it of our governments and ourselves, our businesses, our cultures! The tide of love is changing towards our indigenous people, we will get there. YOU ARE SACRED & PRECIOUS! Every woman is a divine creation and all the rights of the people need to be given back, the status returned to all!

I have moral panic- and I am not indigenous-but I understand what it is to be marginalized and discriminated against almost to death-and I had no one to report it to,since it was a systemic issue-did not think it would be received and I am white looking and middle class-so Thank you for making me think about how that hapens , and the low self esteem and dread that comes with it.Please hold your heads high and know that it is not womens fault ever-there are many of us that are watching and wanting to be helpers- until all women and girls are respected in law and in our collective culture in Canada-none of us is safe or free.I stand with MMIW and so does my family.Please let us know how we can help.I wish the truckers protest had been about these issues and the government of Canada.Haigka-from the Coast.

Well like the residential schools the issue was largely just denied for years now they want "truth and reconciliation" because how can they have reconciliation if the wrongs are not even acknowledged? That's typical of the justice system though don't even want to convict a violent offender still tell the victim to forgive them don't even believe the victims half the time degrade them further. MMIWG are victims of crime first and foremost not "indigenous" and the grief cycle is difficult if you are raised to have any self respect and eventually are forced to "accept" actually you are just another statistic nothing important about you.

Missing and Murdered Native Women isn't a problem just in the past. This is a current issue and problem. You can't move forward if you don't know where you've been. That isn't just moping on the past but seeing what we as a human society has done in the past to evaluate what will work better in the present and the future.

It's not in the past bro. There are a variety of things happening NOW, that echo what has been continuously done. Women are still being taken, children are still being taken. Land continues to be taken, our own spirituality is being taken by crazy white people who just want to make money off of it. Language is continuously trodden upon by non natives, because we should all speak English and not our own dialects. Most of us can't even do things with the land we were given during the land acts. Maybe if we were left alone by the rest of society, allowed to be something that we used to (nomadic, fishermen, farmers or entirely sea fairing), we would be doing much better. But we're required to "fit" in with the rest of the world, and required to relinquish our ancestry and the pride that comes from the thousands of generations of impactful history. But apparently we can't cry around about it, while neo nazis and fascists get to weep about not being able to be proud to be white. WHEN WE CANT EVEN BE ACKNOWLEDGED AS LIVING PEOPLE
