I have had a little bit of experience with some legal issues regarding Native Americans and a couple of the reservations. It is truly sad. Women, especially young women and girls, do indeed disappear or turn up dead with little explanation. Unfortunately, the jurisdictional issues further complicate things. The feds and FBI are responsible for investigating major crimes on the reservations and they typically share very little or no information. There is a recent movie, "Wind River" that is a fictional story about a young Native woman found dead on the Wind River Reservation and the investigation. Its very good. I wont give away the plot. But parts of that movie are very accurate about showing how hopeless things can seem on the reservations. I don't know what the solution is or even if there is one.
missing person demographics are compiled for every sub-group EXCEPT native american women. no one knows and no statistics are kept on how many disappear annually.
Want to know another depressing fact of the day? This thread will prolly disappear with little or no regard by posters the same way our Native sisters are disappearing in droves. I guess all lives don't matter.
Not to demean these people or those close to them, but as a listener of CBC Radio, there are frequent references to M&MIW.
By the way, the PC term seems to be "indigenous" and the rest of us are "settlers."
Indigenous women aren't the only ones missing and murdered.
and while were at it slagging off Canada—as Candy Palmater seems to—most of the M&MIW are south of the Rio Grande. (As for those who've heard of Candi Palmater, did you know she's a lesbian?)
well, if we want to be totally pc, the correct term is american indian, which they prefer. i once asked an indian guy i knew why they didn't prefer "native american" and he said "Where were you born?".
i said, "right here", and he said, "so was i but your ancestors came from somewhere else originally and so did mine. we're all americans but we're also indians."
i never asked what he thought of "indigenous".
Not to argue opinion but American Indian isn't preferred by most tribes. And some of us do believe all lives matter.
which is all well and good and you're welcome to argue semantics until hell freezes over, but none of that addresses what i posted about.

You're not the thought police. I post in regards to what inspires me. Just so we're clear, I am posting in regards to your snippy response with a fuck you.
