  • The Highway of Tears is a 725-kilometre corridor of Highway 16 between Prince George and Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada, which has been the location of many missing and murdered Indigenous women beginning in 1970.
    Filmmaker Matthew Smiley investigates the impact of generational poverty, residential schools, systemic violence, and high unemployment on the murder rates around the First Nation reserves.

      I think the issue was the majority of women where judged to be from high risk life styles and written off as low class and expendable. This happens in white areas if you are not from a prominent family, the issue is one of classim and sexism. This documentary speaks of the high levels of domestic violence against women. The social mentality needs to be addressed.

    How incredibly sad and unjust! I am absolutely disgusted with how the system continues to fail ALL the victims and their families! There is no reason or excuse for all the injustice these woman have faced other than it's pure neglect on the systems part. Regardless of the lives these woman and girls were living doesn't make their lives less meaningful. The way their cases and families have been pushed aside is utterly heartbreaking to say the least. My thoughts and prayers go out to each and every person affected by this. This needs to end.! There are simple solutions to some of these problems, such as ( public transportation)- how absurd to deny these communities such access is just meaningless. They argue they LOSE MONEY for sending buses etc to these communities and yet these families are losing LOVED ONES at an alarming rate!! I truly don't understand nor can I comprehend any of this blatant ,utter disrespect/ disregard for ALL these woman's lives. Where is the justice, Let alone just compassion for any of them?! I lost faith in ALL government, law enforcement, etc years ago. This here just confirmed why!
    Sending Love and Prayers to all of those families and friends of those 1000+ woman who were taken way too soon. I hope they get justice in one way or another 💔🫂

      There was a case somewhere else (in the US, I think?) of an indigenous woman who accepted a ride from some guy. She started feeling uncomfortable and called her sister who recorded the whole conversation.
      She went missing after that and I don't think she was ever found. They released the audio of the call and some people came forward and said it sounds like the voice of a guy who runs a local ranch and is generally creepy towards young women. But nothing was ever done about it.
      It sickens me that people are treated as subhuman or irrelevant because they're indigenous. They're people too.

    35:00 ok this is a huge NO for me.... If your Loved one dies and it is in any way shape or form that their body is "unrecognizable" you should still be allowed or given the opportunity to see them or not. Who the heck is given the right to take that away from a family member if they so choose to see the body.... Now I understand wanting to shield someone from seeing their loved one that way, and it could possibly be traumatic but it should still be up to them, it should be THEIR CHOICE... how do you feel about that issue??? Should someone tell you that you can not see your dead loved one because their body is "unrecognizable" ??

    • @pigtailsandteddybears

      You make a good point and I do agree but this can alter someone psychologically in the worst possible way. I'd at least make sure the loved ones know the condition in verbal detail before they decide to view and/or identify the victim. But like you said, it's most likely people's ways of shielding a traumatic sight for a loved one.

      For what it's worth, I've heard many who did see their murdered loved one lament having the image persist as a memory. Outside of guarding the scene, it could be argued that law enforcement contend with the aftermath in enough difficulty that the tenet 'to protect' might be extended to include psychological in this case.

      @@pigtailsandteddybears I agree that it can alter someones psychi after seeing a loved one mangled or in a state of dismemberment. That's even hard to type out let alone imagine seeing. But I do think that it should be up to the person on whether or not they choose to view the body. After fair warnings of course. IMO it can take away from ones mourning process without having seen the body someone may not want to believe the truth or not be able to process what has happened to them. There could be many determining factors. I just still believe that the individual should be able to decide.. Thank you for your insight.✌💜😀🙏

    I want everybody to know these things about me, so that you can understand where, when and how I grew up: I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Japanese-American. Ever since 2012, Vancouver BC has been my favorite vacation spot. True crime stories in Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia interest me the most, because I can actually picture the scenes of the crimes, because I know where these places are.

    An unnerving collateral story that happened in this same area involved a man. He was in his truck that had a camper on the back. He had a habit of traveling this road, and when sleepy at night, would just pull over, crawl in the back on a mattress he had there, and sleep for a few hours. One night, he was about to doze off, when a man walked up out of nowhere and knocked on the camper, asking 'hey, buddy, you in there?' He was frightened and didn't answer. The man walked away...back to his car a hundred meters or so to the front of his truck, and while he did, the truck owner threw on his clothes, jumped out and jumped in the truck cab, as he started up the truck, the man who had walked up and two others jumped out of the car and ran at his truck...one had an axe. He said he had no doubt they were going to off-him right there...maybe they were after money, or his truck, or maybe just wanted the thrill...either way, he reported it to the RCMP, and by the time they made it back out there, of course, there was no car to be seen...they were gone. To my understanding, this happened in the late 1990's.

    Related question: In 2015, I live in Seattle, I drove East to Wenatchee, and North on US 97 into Canada, which becomes BC 97, at Osoyoos. Instead of going North to Kelowna (say it: key-LOW-na), I turned West on BC 3 to head towards Hope. Since 2012, Vancouver BC has been my favorite vacation spot. I am Japanese-American, born in 1973 in Seattle, where I grew up. So, not TWO miles after I turned West on BC 3, there was a 15-16 year old attractive half First Nations girl, putting out her thumb to hitch a ride with me. I kept driving. I smiled and waved politely, but I kept driving. I NEVER pick up a hitchhiker, nor have I EVER hitchhiked! I don't know what motives (robbery, murder) or weapons these people may have. And, how did this Native American girl know that I'M not some crazed man with bad motives? Equally, how do I know that if I stopped to pick her up, she didn't have a MALE ACCOMPLICE hiding behind a rock, who would dart out and ambush me? I have heard that the Highway of Tears is a BEAUTIFUL and SCENIC drive, which is what I like, and why (before the pandemic hit) I thought about driving it: Ferry from Campbell River to Prince Rupert, to Prince George (which I'm scared of), back to Vancouver. Well, remember I'm a JAPANESE-AMERICAN, even worse, a typical nerdy-looking Asian who wears glasses, and is about 10-15 pounds overweight, and 49 in 2022: Which means, I am a PRIME target for these girls who want to hitchhike. "What can THAT nerdy-looking Japanese-American possibly do bad to me?" Which is true: I wouldn't ever do anything bad to anybody, especially a female. Plus, my Washington license plate would tell them, "He's definitely heading Eastward." If I ever do this drive, I HAVE to stop and eat, and get gas somewhere, so I better be careful about not being targeted as a driver to give these young women a ride. I'll just have to say, "Unfortunately, my car is too full of my luggage."

I shared this for a few reasons: First of all, this is a PUBLIC forum, and I have every right to post on it, as long as I don't threaten anybody, or disclose confidential information. Second, like anybody watching this video, I'm a true crime buff. Looking at the geography involved with where I live and grew up, and where this story took place, makes it much more RELATABLE, compared to a story say in Virginia or North Carolina, where I don't have much experience going to. Third, this story is largely about HITCHHIKING young women (add to it, MY Osoyoos story involves an Indigenous woman, too). Fourth, I think that my story is a great heads-up, not only for hitchhikers (not just female hitchhikers), but potential ride GIVERS, that we ALL need to be careful. If you are a classic "harmless looking man," you WILL be targeted in "being asked for a ride." And (even though I AM totally harmless), this is a reminder to hitchhikers (not just female), that just because I LOOK harmless (Japanese-American nerd with glasses, slightly overweight), does NOT mean that I'm a slam dunk to NOT be a "bad person." (but again, I am truly a GOOD harmless person)
