@@SuperPutzPutz alot of the girls who hitchhiked and were murdered a long the Highway of Tears were just going home from basically work or friends. Like you had said some were sex trade workers but most due to the lack of public transportation were trying to go to and from home. A friend of mine who lives in Vanderhoof knew and worked with Madison Scott who went missing from Hogs back lake which is located a quarter of a mile down the Highway of Tears. I was supposed to graduate 93 with a young girl by the name of Roxanne Thiara who was murdered on the Highway of Tears in late 92. Little did i know Roxanne was a known sex trade worker who lived in Quesnel where I used to live. Two more women where I live which is Lethbridge Alberta have been added to the Missing and Murdered Aboriginal women and girls inquiry list just two years ago. I just want the blood shed to stop because nobody deserves to go missing and nobody deserves to be murdered.
Natasha Grootjans I know right! I always get race wars between mixed races and both of my parents are indigenous! I’m from muskowekan First Nation and George Gordon’s First Nation rez. And mom mom is Métis
EVERYONE deserves the same consideration with their safety and livelihood ! and we all as women need equal consideration when it comes to being used and abused ! this needs to change!!!!
I feel so sorry, my heart ❤️ is broken, for all our Native Children being abused, missing, and Murmured, I’m only 15 o/o Native but I’m Proud of sharing the Blood 🩸 line, Praying to the Great Creator God that he will watch over our Children’s and young Ladies and protect them from all evil and harm that Satan Children’s intends to inflict harm upon them ❤️🙏, I love you my Native Brothers and Sisters
1200 missing and murdered women if you equate that with white women your looking at a ratio of 20000 women I think then the national guard would be called out or forth thank you for those Stats I need ed to see this or hear it from someone in the know thank you thank you !!!!
so where do we go from hear, as a non aboriginal black Canadian id like to step up and we need to do so together, these were not ghosts or aliens, they were humans, the original inhabitants of the land we stole... ITs time to bring them justice.
I don't know I am Aboriginal I am one of those who escaped for my life when I was younger and even in My Middle age I was nearly Murdered by my common in law spouse much of it racism ..I am not full I am Mixed I think it doesn't matter what quantum Blood we are somehow the girls are so vulnerable with Drugs and drinking I will always have a huge heart for survivor s But I am straight and I still fell into Categories
Where's the rest of the story, who attacked her, did she know him, her or them, and the second young girl, what was going on in her birth mothers house that she ended up on the streets. No information what so ever, these women and young girls weren't killed or attacked by invisible forces, where is all the information about them. Bad Program.
If they're gonna do a documentary, why don't they talk to police -- get their explanation of why they didn't investigate? They represent 16 percent of murders of women and 12 percent of missing women. Isn't that a proportionate amount of the total?
you would think that if a young 16 year old who has suffered through so much and is the face of a cause people would at least try to get her name right its not Renel, not Vernel, not Wenel. HER NAME IS Brunel Harper.
they have an agenda, probably doing it intentionally- so she’s forgotten.. they can’t be trusted.. so sad, the racism is so blatant, it’s alway crazy to me to see the blatant racism with no filter against natives and it’s just overlooked as if it’s okay, but let another race have to deal with even a third of that racism and there’s going to be cities in flames! maybe it’s our turn “to spark the nation” and create some change! we all need to stand proud, strong and together or it will be worse for our children’s children and so on😞. we need to make some serious noise!
This is beyond tragic!!! Shouldn't all lives matter??? So many people go missing every year!!! Law enforcement is often apathetic to these issues. We need to be paying attention....
Who are the perpetrators? Do they fit a profile (ex out of towner passing by)? Are indigenous women targeted because they know they won't get caught (investigation will be poor and slow)? Why is investigation slower for missing indigenous women?
The natives are moved onto reserves, given little assistance, held down by their native blood. Expected by the powers that be to render themselves extinct. They are cutting their own throats by changing tribal blood quantums, in a few generations the lands we hope onto will go back to the government. Dogs, horses and natives are the only things that matter by blood quantum. Stay strong natives the end is near.
Big Ern Mahkracken I totally agree. But apparently, according to everyone, blood quantity don’t t matter. 🙄 Soon we’ll eventually be assimilated into other races.
You don’t have to keep blaming the past or the system , start looking at home , single families, low education. Demand help and change in the community..
My Canadian girlfriend (I'm Aussie) has always told me not to treat Canada as a liberal, tolerant paradise and mentioned the "highway of tears". Having watched this I really understand that women are treated badly worldwide, that police don't care if they think the victims were involved with drugs or sex work (should that matter?), and worst of all that the original inhabitants of Canada are being killed in huge numbers and no-one cares. I thought Australia's treatment of Aborigines was the worst; now I'm thinking the genocide is everywhere 🙁
What a beautiful girl she is.........thanks for your courage!! This global system is diabolic........ and if we all humans would bring out all the love we have in our hearts......we would win!! The Government ( all the Governments around the world) in the past.... now ...created and still are creating all these horrible things...injustices !!
People rarely talk about the monsters committing these heinous crimes. Where are these men, where do they come from, why do they believe it's their right to take a woman's life/sense of safety?
Indigenous women and girls are not weak! These monsters who are doing this need to be stopped! The government and law enforcement agencies need to declare a national emergency. Indigenous women and girls in Canada and US need justice and need to be protected
As much as I feel extremely sad and sorry. As much as I am concerned and heart wrenched, I ask why are these women putting themselves in this position. -“You can take the horse to the water-well for water, but you can not force the horse to drink the water”- Why do these women continue to portray the stereotype of “the drunk Indian in the sex trade” Why not stay in school, complete their get education, so they can get a dignified job and earn like the rest of the Canadian society, Why not be wise with your relationships, with those who they befriend. Why not use contraceptives while engaging in sexual activity with their partner, and not have children until they are ready. Why not save Your money and use the money you have for something productive instead of wasting it on Booz and Drugs. Why not get a driver's license and drive a car, rather than hitchhiking with strangers, Why not accept the help that is given by the government instead of pointing fingers at the government, they have already apologised for the past. Why not accept the help of police when approached by them, rather than turning them down for their help, such as a car ride back home. Why not stay home when intoxicated? Why not accompany and stick to a group of friends when you go out for drinks? Why not budget and have enough money to catch a taxi home? Why not stop being the victim and fight back. Why are these people are asking for a national inquiry, the cases are reported and documented on the Canada-wide database and they are being investigated. Do these people not know the expression “prevention is better than cure”. 99% of us know the difference between right from wrong, most of us human beings can sense danger. Doesn't take a genius.
Most of these women were not raised right, many grew up in the foster care system or sexually abused as children. If you grew up in poverty or with alcoholic/drug addicted family, you'd know how easy it is to fall into the same cycle. It's called generational trauma. I'm not saying it makes what they're doing right or ok, I'm trying to make you understand that these were not like some upper class educated suburban women.
Those stereotypes exist in every culture. They're almost always silly generalizations. You could make up just as many about Indians. They'd also be true in a sense, about things that are taking place on the surface of the culture. But the wise also know these cultures have all been corrupted in their own right and taken from their roots. It's as silly to judge natives in such a way as it is for me to judge indians for their generalized transgressions. The world is more than black and white.
Everything you said can be applied to every culture in some way. Perhaps some things are unique to natives. But you could concoct a similar list about many other cultures. It's easy to say all of this, but it also highlights tremendous hypocrisy and ignorance to the bigger picture.
During the winter of 66/67 was when a song came out, but no one really knows who wrote this verse originally except me. Here it is: Jesus loves all the little children, all the children in the world, red and yellow, black and white, they are precious to his sight. Jesus loves all the children in the world. This means the red people need the most help right now, since they are being attacked the most by evil forces at play. Some black people who think they are the best put black and yellow, red and white. That is very wrong to do.
Ladies please consider carrying something to protect yourself if you don’t want to or can’t carry a firearm carry at least a pepper spray or a bear spray, protect yourself as best as possible don’t wait for someone else to do it they never will.
Send a decoy…every night finding one might just solve some of them…I don’t have the answers but I will continue to pray for all the families and the missing
I'm Navajo. I'm from Abq, NM. But I think there should be a rape kit that's acceptable whether on the rez or statewide. And if they find that person guilty, that should face the MAXIMUM LIFE PENALTY. How else are they or our younger ones going to know right from wrong.
I’m Mexican, and my heart goes out to all natives going through this, this is so sad and it makes me heartbroken that nobody is listening to this problem. I would love to know how to help.
My heart bleeds for one's I never had the chance to meet and had the chance to become friends with may the people or persons stand in front of there God and answer why..................XXXX
it’s true and disgusting and also doesn’t make sense😕. Native Americans are stereotyped for alcoholism (this was direct conditioning and a well organized plot against our native ppl from our wonderful governments). but rather, we are not the ones known for stereotypes of being the race with the most likelihood of being pedos, child abusers, rapists, incests, committing famlicide, or any other evil extra curriculars that some of the others are known for.. but hey.. how bout’ those drunks though?!.. 🤨🙄
What hurts more is that your own people can do that to you .... Nothing was done for me n I'm a survivor if care less to be noticed bcuz hey ruined my name like I deserved it . Makes me shame that to see their tribal members nobody at all deserve any of that. God will judge them harshly
Why is it that no respect is given the ppl who has been living and surviving in these countries for centuries before they came with sickness violence and Boose. In Sweden they treat ”Samer” ppl like second class citizens too. America, Australia and New Zeland and Canada and 1200 I think is even that vastly underestimated number.
Allow civil liberties like CCW and things like this might stop happening. I would rather hear about a rapist getting shot rather than another woman missing. Vote Libertarian. (not liberal) this next election.
This is like a silent genocide. What is going on in Canada? It seams from the outside that things are getting more like the USA. I am sick of hearing things like she wasn't nice or she was an addict. Every life is worth as much as every other. Addiction, substance abuse and violence needs to be taken serious.
See the stupidity in the comments I am a proud member of Ione band of Miwok Indians and I stand for my indigenous women, children who are apart of this brutal society that doesn’t give a damn about us or our lives and this is unexceptionable and I can’t believe the hateful people are spreading bullshit regardless of what we do NO ONE deserves to play God and NO ONE should have the power to take ANY ONES LIFE!!! We may have forgiveness to those who hate us but the creator won’t have any mercy on those who hate, murder and slander us!! I stand with you MY people who hurt and long for your loved ones 💔💔 !!
From watching this it is sad that all these women have keen kill and that nothing has been done which leads me to say, do you know how much killers and rapist at roaming free because police took no action
The killer(s) probably watch these videos. Get TH-cam to find out who these guys are watching these videos and then get their History of watching these on TH-cam. If they are obsessed with this, you will have more suspects.
That poor woman blaming herself when the selfish little brat put herself in danger on purpose. There's no helping some & it's tragic that those are left behind to mourn them. Miserable life it is there in the freezing cold weather UGH! I don't know why she would want to stay out on the streets when she had a warm loving home to go to. Wanting to get sloshed & screw around on the streets is too much of a pull for those that way inclined. There's something very wrong at the very root. These people need better prospects. Why aren't they integrated better. They seem to be segregated with cheap quality housing, job prospects & earning capacity.
These women and young girls are victims. There are alot of negative comments. No one knows what these women are going through. There r some sick people out there killing these girls! This needs to stop now!
What a disgusting human being you have to be to send a letter like this. I’m so upset, how much has been taken from Native people of the Americas. My heart bleeds for them. Canada a country I love but I’m disgustedly the way they treat the ppl who’s country they stole. Shame shame shame
Did you see this? He used to have another image of him on the Internet but must have been removed a couple of years ago after I saw it in 2014, it was so bad he had evil written all over is face. He smiles now because he has killed so many bent on revenge with his buddy named Wally, who is very angry also for FNI women killing his sister named Judy in 1970 and why the killings started in 1980, but where did they start? In Saskatchewan I would guess.
Back in the late 90s I think, there was a hit and run murder or accident killing a man walking on gravel road near Carry the Kettle south of Sintaluta. If this was during the long weekend of August on a Sunday or Monday night in 1998 I know who did this since his relative through marriage had a class reunion at farm nearby the reserve, he easily would have done this being in that location. Which direction was the First Nation man walking? I contacted both the Reservation band office and FSIN for more information on the date and the victim's name, but they never reply back causing more delays. What is the problem with all you professionals out there? Do I have to sue you all too?!!! DO YOUR JOBS and quit daydreaming about the next time you're going to get laid!
Share this...toooooo many dont know...this is also the same set of facts for us lower 50 area native woman and girls. Same info..lack of record keeping. No governemnt data bank. Shame...native woman matter and native lives matter.

I was supposed to graduate 93 with a young girl by the name of Roxanne Thiara who was murdered on the Highway of Tears in late 92. Little did i know Roxanne was a known sex trade worker who lived in Quesnel where I used to live. Two more women where I live which is Lethbridge Alberta have been added to the Missing and Murdered Aboriginal women and girls inquiry list just two years ago. I just want the blood shed to stop because nobody deserves to go missing and nobody deserves to be murdered.
Why does the comment section always turn into a race war?
The Goverment has programed the sheep this way.
Natasha Grootjans I know right! I always get race wars between mixed races and both of my parents are indigenous! I’m from muskowekan First Nation and George Gordon’s First Nation rez. And mom mom is Métis
It seems all indigenous people in all countries are treated extremely poorly. Australia, US and Canada primarily!
Yup
Mexico!
Canadian government had double standards in world stage. . We demand action ..
EVERYONE deserves the same consideration with their safety and livelihood ! and we all as women need equal consideration when it comes to being used and abused ! this needs to change!!!!
It is interesting to note this takes place more often in the most racist province in Canada.
I feel so sorry, my heart ❤️ is broken, for all our Native Children being abused, missing, and Murmured, I’m only 15 o/o Native but I’m Proud of sharing the Blood 🩸 line, Praying to the Great Creator God that he will watch over our Children’s and young Ladies and protect them from all evil and harm that Satan Children’s intends to inflict harm upon them ❤️🙏, I love you my Native Brothers and Sisters
1200 missing and murdered women if you equate that with white women your looking at a ratio of 20000 women I think then the national guard would be called out or forth
thank you for those Stats I need ed to see this or hear it from someone in the know thank you thank you !!!!
so where do we go from hear, as a non aboriginal black Canadian id like to step up and we need to do so together, these were not ghosts or aliens, they were humans, the original inhabitants of the land we stole... ITs time to bring them justice.
I don't know I am Aboriginal I am one of those who escaped for my life when I was younger and even in My Middle age I was nearly Murdered by my common in law spouse much of it racism ..I am not full I am Mixed I think it doesn't matter what quantum Blood we are
somehow the girls are so vulnerable with Drugs and drinking I will always have a huge heart for survivor s
But I am straight and I still fell into Categories
Thats so sad in Tina's case though, that she had the means to contact her Aunt for over a month and chose not to, then was found dead....so so sad.
All these girls Matter!! This is extremely sad. It makes me angry hhow they are treated!!😢
Winnipeg? one of the worst cities in Canada that city needs help not just with this situation but also with high poverty.
I pray for all my native sisters.
*This makes me heartsick...*
Where's the rest of the story, who attacked her, did she know him, her or them, and the second young girl, what was going on in her birth mothers house that she ended up on the streets. No information what so ever, these women and young girls weren't killed or attacked by invisible forces, where is all the information about them. Bad Program.
Marcella Sheridan watch the documentary called highway of tears,it might answer part of your question on what's happening to these beautiful women
If they're gonna do a documentary, why don't they talk to police -- get their explanation of why they didn't investigate? They represent 16 percent of murders of women and 12 percent of missing women. Isn't that a proportionate amount of the total?
Police dont care. Even tribal police. Which are many white men. FBI wont waste money on cases they cannot prove.
How sad what a horrible and depressing place to live. I pray that the people can gain the strength to move out of there and start over.
you would think that if a young 16 year old who has suffered through so much and is the face of a cause people would at least try to get her name right its not Renel, not Vernel, not Wenel. HER NAME IS Brunel Harper.
they have an agenda, probably doing it intentionally- so she’s forgotten.. they can’t be trusted.. so sad, the racism is so blatant, it’s alway crazy to me to see the blatant racism with no filter against natives and it’s just overlooked as if it’s okay, but let another race have to deal with even a third of that racism and there’s going to be cities in flames! maybe it’s our turn “to spark the nation” and create some change! we all need to stand proud, strong and together or it will be worse for our children’s children and so on😞. we need to make some serious noise!
What a disgusting act to send her aunt a dispicable letter after her death. They should find that person who sent her the letter.
In the U.S. we have a 411 map. Alot of people turn up missing in National Parks and game preserves. Weird unexplained stuff.
Why so little coverage of MMIW? Are you working on an episode or?
This is beyond tragic!!! Shouldn't all lives matter??? So many people go missing every year!!! Law enforcement is often apathetic to these issues. We need to be paying attention....
Who are the perpetrators? Do they fit a profile (ex out of towner passing by)? Are indigenous women targeted because they know they won't get caught (investigation will be poor and slow)? Why is investigation slower for missing indigenous women?
Because many of them are runaways or prostitutes.
The natives are moved onto reserves, given little assistance, held down by their native blood. Expected by the powers that be to render themselves extinct. They are cutting their own throats by changing tribal blood quantums, in a few generations the lands we hope onto will go back to the government. Dogs, horses and natives are the only things that matter by blood quantum. Stay strong natives the end is near.
Big Ern Mahkracken I totally agree. But apparently, according to everyone, blood quantity don’t t matter. 🙄 Soon we’ll eventually be assimilated into other races.
You don’t have to keep blaming the past or the system , start looking at home , single families, low education. Demand help and change in the community..
The past always affects the present and future..
Dont walk alone.
Is a shame that new refugees get more support than « real Canadians »
My Canadian girlfriend (I'm Aussie) has always told me not to treat Canada as a liberal, tolerant paradise and mentioned the "highway of tears". Having watched this I really understand that women are treated badly worldwide, that police don't care if they think the victims were involved with drugs or sex work (should that matter?), and worst of all that the original inhabitants of Canada are being killed in huge numbers and no-one cares. I thought Australia's treatment of Aborigines was the worst; now I'm thinking the genocide is everywhere 🙁
My heart is with you all..
I am listening. What can I do to help?
What a beautiful girl she is.........thanks for your courage!! This global system is diabolic........ and if we all humans would bring out all the love we have in our hearts......we would win!! The Government ( all the Governments around the world) in the past.... now ...created and still are creating all these horrible things...injustices !!
People rarely talk about the monsters committing these heinous crimes. Where are these men, where do they come from, why do they believe it's their right to take a woman's life/sense of safety?
Indigenous women and girls are not weak! These monsters who are doing this need to be stopped! The government and law enforcement agencies need to declare a national emergency. Indigenous women and girls in Canada and US need justice and need to be protected
dude, this is sad
As much as I feel extremely sad and sorry. As much as I am concerned and heart wrenched, I ask why are these women putting themselves in this position.
-“You can take the horse to the water-well for water, but you can not force the horse to drink the water”-
Why do these women continue to portray the stereotype of “the drunk Indian in the sex trade”
Why not stay in school, complete their get education, so they can get a dignified job and earn like the rest of the Canadian society,
Why not be wise with your relationships, with those who they befriend.
Why not use contraceptives while engaging in sexual activity with their partner, and not have children until they are ready.
Why not save Your money and use the money you have for something productive instead of wasting it on Booz and Drugs.
Why not get a driver's license and drive a car, rather than hitchhiking with strangers,
Why not accept the help that is given by the government instead of pointing fingers at the government, they have already apologised for the past.
Why not accept the help of police when approached by them, rather than turning them down for their help, such as a car ride back home.
Why not stay home when intoxicated?
Why not accompany and stick to a group of friends when you go out for drinks?
Why not budget and have enough money to catch a taxi home?
Why not stop being the victim and fight back.
Why are these people are asking for a national inquiry, the cases are reported and documented on the
Canada-wide database and they are being investigated.
Do these people not know the expression “prevention is better than cure”. 99% of us know the difference between right from wrong, most of us human beings can sense danger. Doesn't take a genius.
Most of these women were not raised right, many grew up in the foster care system or sexually abused as children. If you grew up in poverty or with alcoholic/drug addicted family, you'd know how easy it is to fall into the same cycle. It's called generational trauma. I'm not saying it makes what they're doing right or ok, I'm trying to make you understand that these were not like some upper class educated suburban women.
Those stereotypes exist in every culture.
They're almost always silly generalizations.
You could make up just as many about Indians. They'd also be true in a sense, about things that are taking place on the surface of the culture.
But the wise also know these cultures have all been corrupted in their own right and taken from their roots.
It's as silly to judge natives in such a way as it is for me to judge indians for their generalized transgressions.
The world is more than black and white.
Everything you said can be applied to every culture in some way. Perhaps some things are unique to natives.
But you could concoct a similar list about many other cultures.
It's easy to say all of this, but it also highlights tremendous hypocrisy and ignorance to the bigger picture.
Time to educate some stubborn people in the comment section.🙃
During the winter of 66/67 was when a song came out, but no one really knows who wrote this verse originally except me. Here it is:
Jesus loves all the little children, all the children in the world, red and yellow, black and white, they are precious to his sight. Jesus loves all the children in the world.
This means the red people need the most help right now, since they are being attacked the most by evil forces at play. Some black people who think they are the best put black and yellow, red and white. That is very wrong to do.
I love you Bernadette hugs and Love ..
Ladies please consider carrying something to protect yourself if you don’t want to or can’t carry a firearm carry at least a pepper spray or a bear spray, protect yourself as best as possible don’t wait for someone else to do it they never will.
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US ARE IMPORTANT ! EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US COUNTS ! WE ALL DESERVE TO LIVE IN PEACE ! WE WILL NO LONGER ACCEPT THIS !
Send a decoy…every night finding one might just solve some of them…I don’t have the answers but I will continue to pray for all the families and the missing
I'm Navajo. I'm from Abq, NM. But I think there should be a rape kit that's acceptable whether on the rez or statewide. And if they find that person guilty, that should face the MAXIMUM LIFE PENALTY. How else are they or our younger ones going to know right from wrong.
I’m Mexican, and my heart goes out to all natives going through this, this is so sad and it makes me heartbroken that nobody is listening to this problem. I would love to know how to help.
The weak men that pepetuate these gutless crimes are less than human, even less than animals. Animals would not do such evil things.
COWARDLY BRUTALITY of INNOCENT & DECENT WOMEN, Shameful,
All I see is just a bunch of meeting to talk and talk and getting nothing done.
MAKE THE GOVERNMENT DO THEIR JOBS ! GET THEM OFF OF THEIR ASSES !
My heart bleeds for one's I never had the chance to meet and had the chance to become friends with may the people or persons stand in front of there God and answer why..................XXXX
First Nations are treated as the lowest rung of society then again they are treated this way throughout all coasts and spots of The Americas
it’s true and disgusting and also doesn’t make sense😕. Native Americans are stereotyped for alcoholism (this was direct conditioning and a well organized plot against our native ppl from our wonderful governments). but rather, we are not the ones known for stereotypes of being the race with the most likelihood of being pedos, child abusers, rapists, incests, committing famlicide, or any other evil extra curriculars that some of the others are known for.. but hey.. how bout’ those drunks though?!.. 🤨🙄
What hurts more is that your own people can do that to you .... Nothing was done for me n I'm a survivor if care less to be noticed bcuz hey ruined my name like I deserved it . Makes me shame that to see their tribal members nobody at all deserve any of that. God will judge them harshly
Truly tragic.
Every life is precious. May God heal your pain
Why is it that no respect is given the ppl who has been living and surviving in these countries for centuries before they came with sickness violence and Boose.
In Sweden they treat ”Samer” ppl like second class citizens too.
America, Australia and New Zeland and Canada and 1200 I think is even that vastly underestimated number.
Are all serial killers addicts, they are not, but use the excuse that one of both if their parents were.
its s saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad i cry
Sounds like Tanya Taquaq singing in the back
The woman singing in the background is the same lady named Rain, that is speaking the names of the missing and murdered woman.
Def s social issue as well as criminal.
Allow civil liberties like CCW and things like this might stop happening. I would rather hear about a rapist getting shot rather than another woman missing. Vote Libertarian. (not liberal) this next election.
This is like a silent genocide. What is going on in Canada? It seams from the outside that things are getting more like the USA. I am sick of hearing things like she wasn't nice or she was an addict. Every life is worth as much as every other. Addiction, substance abuse and violence needs to be taken serious.
See the stupidity in the comments I am a proud member of Ione band of Miwok Indians and I stand for my indigenous women, children who are apart of this brutal society that doesn’t give a damn about us or our lives and this is unexceptionable and I can’t believe the hateful people are spreading bullshit regardless of what we do NO ONE deserves to play God and NO ONE should have the power to take ANY ONES LIFE!!! We may have forgiveness to those who hate us but the creator won’t have any mercy on those who hate, murder and slander us!! I stand with you MY people who hurt and long for your loved ones 💔💔 !!
The government,s words are just that ,words, Action Action Action, Perpetrators Imprisoned
From watching this it is sad that all these women have keen kill and that nothing has been done which leads me to say, do you know how much killers and rapist at roaming free because police took no action
The killer(s) probably watch these videos. Get TH-cam to find out who these guys are watching these videos and then get their History of watching these on TH-cam. If they are obsessed with this, you will have more suspects.
I think they are already onto you.....
@@jellyrun1 You're funny. I would probably suicided a long time ago if it wasn't for First Nation women, so why would I kill any?
Where was tina mom? She was supposed to be with her that's what she went there for!! I dnt understand Why wasn't her mom lookin for her
That poor woman blaming herself when the selfish little brat put herself in danger on purpose. There's no helping some & it's tragic that those are left behind to mourn them. Miserable life it is there in the freezing cold weather UGH! I don't know why she would want to stay out on the streets when she had a warm loving home to go to. Wanting to get sloshed & screw around on the streets is too much of a pull for those that way inclined. There's something very wrong at the very root. These people need better prospects. Why aren't they integrated better. They seem to be segregated with cheap quality housing, job prospects & earning capacity.
These women and young girls are victims. There are alot of negative comments. No one knows what these women are going through. There r some sick people out there killing these girls! This needs to stop now!
What a disgusting human being you have to be to send a letter like this.
I’m so upset, how much has been taken from Native people of the Americas.
My heart bleeds for them.
Canada a country I love but I’m disgustedly the way they treat the ppl who’s country they stole.
Shame shame shame
I suppose you don't know if there's more than one killer will they ever find the people who did these crimes
What happen with amber tuccaro? She was murder in alberta canada...she also was aboriginal woman.
Did you see this? He used to have another image of him on the Internet but must have been removed a couple of years ago after I saw it in 2014, it was so bad he had evil written all over is face. He smiles now because he has killed so many bent on revenge with his buddy named Wally, who is very angry also for FNI women killing his sister named Judy in 1970 and why the killings started in 1980, but where did they start? In Saskatchewan I would guess.
Back in the late 90s I think, there was a hit and run murder or accident killing a man walking on gravel road near Carry the Kettle south of Sintaluta. If this was during the long weekend of August on a Sunday or Monday night in 1998 I know who did this since his relative through marriage had a class reunion at farm nearby the reserve, he easily would have done this being in that location. Which direction was the First Nation man walking? I contacted both the Reservation band office and FSIN for more information on the date and the victim's name, but they never reply back causing more delays. What is the problem with all you professionals out there? Do I have to sue you all too?!!! DO YOUR JOBS and quit daydreaming about the next time you're going to get laid!
WTF this is terrible
Life on the street is dangerous period!
Share this...toooooo many dont know...this is also the same set of facts for us lower 50 area native woman and girls. Same info..lack of record keeping. No governemnt data bank. Shame...native woman matter and native lives matter.
Women need to be taught that they are worth more then what world tells them. More effort in drug addiction drinking. More trouble influences. This is a problem that's going to take time because this been going on for hundred of years
We have a group of people who showed up 8 years ago ,... now they have job's with the local police force's,... arm yourselves and group up
It's so sad
only more money out his pocket
How very sad
