- True reconciliation can only be achieved when it exists in the hearts and minds of every Canadian. Why that matters is related to Canada's heart-wrenching history of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. Sophie Kiwala was the former MPP for Kingston and the Islands where she served as the Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation, Children and Youth, and Tourism Culture and Sport. She served on numerous committees while in office including General Government, Estimates, Ontario Legislative Assembly, and she was the Chair of the Cabinet Committee on Jobs and Economic Policy. She has a long history of service to Kingstonians through her work in federal politics as well where she was the Office Manager to the Speaker of the House of Commons, Honourable Peter Milliken, and the Chief of Staff to Hon. Milliken's successor, MP Ted Hsu. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
What an incredible articulate speaker. She's wonderful, powerful
Justice for MMIWGP ❤. So much pain is still lingering in our hearts. Prayers to all and stay safe.
They arent missing they ran away
@@AbdulKhader-786they didn't run away how dare you blame the victim you are cold and heartless these women were killed ,human trafficked it's clear your ignorance covers your snake like eyes I hope you get some help
Honesltly my gramma once told me a story about her neighbors in the kootney region BC where she grew up. Apparently they were indigenous and the mother actually used to have to hide her children in the bushes so the residential school church officials couldn't take her children....
Yep that's how some language and traditions and knowledge was kept alive.
Why couldn't indigenous children go to ordinary schools and have classes in their language and culture after classes in the main subjects? Non-native children could join and study something really interesting, too. May be I don't understand 'cause I live in a country where local languages are being taught at schools for more than 90 years, and TV is in 52 of indigenous languages.
Your granny lied to you to pass on the unwarranted victim mentality that runs rampant amongst natives..native woman are forced into prostitution as a result of addiction from the trauma they suffered at the hands of their families and people..MMIWs are the fault of natives.
Thank God those schools are gone !!! Terrible.
No more stolen sister's ❤❤❤✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
Time to abolish the Indian Act and let the Indigenous peoples govern themselves. Time for the police to investigate all those unsolved cases of MMIWG. Let them live in peace and away from the confines of the federal government. For they have done enough harm and damage.
THIS. IS NOTHING NEW PEOPLE...1,000's of Cold Unsolved Cases...Mother's Still Crying for their Babies, Daughter's @ their OWN Mother's over the decades.
Women and girls should be treated diffrently than men and boys because they have diffrent anatomy and needs. Treating everybody equally is forgetting about individuality.
I appreciate her sharing these facts, however I think you all already know this, for what its worth I think the answers can be found in your own families and communities. The authorities need to take this more seriously...I am a part indiginous woman here in the US, there is very much complacancy here about indiginous peoples and especially women, there is alot of work to do...🙋♀️🤗
@Germaine Prien-There are many of us who follow missing person cases. We would like to help but we can't get access to files because we are not family members.
Please look harder at police to help this cause!
Government needs to stop giving free money to people
My 2 children have their status (through their dad not me) and these types of talks make my blood boil. It is the responsibility of the parents to keep their children safe. It isn't your responsibility to raise my kids and it isn't mine to raise yours. If your children keep going missing ask yourself what you got wrong and nobody else.
What she's leaving out is that at least half those missing and murdered native women are murdered or maltreatment by other aboriginal people. Look at the federal crime statistics if you don't believe me.
Guess what it's called generational trauma DO YOUR RESEARCH
@@user-js2bb8lw5y all people have generational trauma. Natives are just milking white guilt for as much as they can like all people of colour.
Time for natives to take responsibility for their missing and murdered women
What was a 15 year old girl doing out on any night?
Such a backwards concept. Children should be able to walk around their around community safely. How dare you shift the blame onto a child?
@@indulgentenhydra5997
Is she's old enough to be out at night, she's definitely old enough to take responsibility for her own personal safety.
@@shauncameron8390 why don't yt men stop kidnapping
@@indulgentenhydra5997 Don't you people know how to educate yourselves before you stick your foot in your mouth? Curfews have been around for a long time in Canada & the US. Sorry to burst your bubble if this is SOP in your circles!
@@Tricia.e25 What tf does that mean. "yt?". Maybe educate yourself and don't listen to indigenous activists who want to defect attention away and blame everyone else when they should be raising awareness about the truth of the matter. What they're doing is helping NO ONE!
Statistics Canada: "Court Outcomes in Homicides of Indigenous Women & Girls/2009-2021.":
81% of indigenous women & girls killed in Canada knew their killers (intimate partner/acquaintance/family member) and in 86% of those cases, the person accused of their homicide was also indigenous.
In fact, overall stranger homicides were LESS common among indigenous victims (8%) verses non-indigenous victims (12%) of women & girls who were killed.
Quit being gender exclusionary and address the issue of murdered and missing indigenous men.
