Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, Trans, and Two-Spirit

Ongoing settler colonialism and a continuation of genocidal acts towards Indigenous people has resulted in an epidemic of Missing and Murdered Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQ+. The multigenerational effects of colonial violence against Indigenous people are known and well-documented in Canada, including legislation in the Indian Act, which was used as a significant tool of genocide, imprisonment of children in residential schooling, high rates of child apprehension, police indifference and inaction, and ongoing public indifference based on racist assumptions and stereotypes about Indigenous peoples and their communities.

This section of the Pima’tisowin e’ mimtotaman website provides tools for you to educate yourself as a first step in supporting MMIWGT2S+ relations in their efforts to end this ongoing genocide in Canada.
