    Rosalie, you are amazing. You are a gifted leader already at such a young age. I'm glad you found the gift of running. It makes us strong inside and out. I look forward to seeing you run your way to political office someday, if that is your interest. I just finished reading Yellow Bird, which gave me an awareness of this largely unreported issue.

    I showed this to my students. My job is to teach English to newcomers to Canada, but as a Metis woman I cannot keep my silence. I want my students to learn about residential schools, the 60s scoop, mmiw, and even now how child and family services are still taking our babies away. My students teach me about their culture, I am lucky. They enjoy learning about our culture too. They had no idea about all of the injustice faced by first nations people. They often say but why don't they fight back. I think education and awareness is the way to fight back. Silence and shame has to end. Our stories have to be heard.

    Every human being has the right to dignity, and everyone is their own entity which must be respected.
    Congratulations on your determination and may this vital force never leave you!

      Don't. Do not ever be ashamed how u were born. Be proud of who u are and be proud of ur heritage, well of course not the bad parts, every heritage has those. Yea, ik what happened to the natives and it was horrible, but that is not ur fault. On the other side, yes, her story was incredibly suppressed and it is sad. She and other people like her need to be heard.

These women & children have to be protected...that is the main job of governors...to protect. The gangs need to be eliminated from reservations.

    Where are these girls Fathers and brothers , husbands and cousins? Where are they disappearing from? From what I have been able to gather, a lot of these girls are walking down long country roads, in the middle of nowhere then they never arrive at their destinations. Where are they disappearing from? I have watched several videos of this phenom and details are not expressed and Fathers never seem to be interviewed.

    My mother pulled me away from my family along with my sister's. Someone in power goes around and gets the kids out of the schools. Happened to me. I was tolled to tell everyone the guy was my grandfather and he was not. My mother would move us but they still came and found us. I'm dealing with alot of triggers now of my past. I'm 40 years old now. One thing to look for on your child is a bruise on the spine. Some of these guys give a injection to make there bottoms go numb. As I went through . Others didn't. I remember being threatened if I made a noise I would get barrier at heart island. As a child I didn't even know what that meant till this past year. A child may become mute and not talk much anymore,like what happened to me. I watched a guy pay a lady at a hotel before I had to go in a suit case to clean up the mess in the room. To get rid of evidence. I remember it all now. I had counseling for 13 years and just recently started getting the triggers. I remember faces I remember some names. I remember one of the lady's at the school grooming me. If the child looks at the man after being told " don't look at me" they end up at heart island.

    When my daughter told me of this story in February 2019 I felt sick all I could think about as we are walking in Fife WA and I'm noticing have you seen me signs of native woman missing is this sound like someone is commiting genocide trying to wipe out an entire population of people native people by killing off the women. Because without women natives most certainly will become extinct. I ask my daughter why would someone want to do this and who would want to do this? I ask her what does she have any ideas on what we can do to help figure this out? We decide to start talking to people we know telling them what is going on asking them to help in the same way informing the world around us. Both my grandmother's we're full blood natives my maternal grandmother was adopted out and didn't know until later in life then was embarrassed to tell anyone. The sadness in that. Her tribe was called Algonquian but now basically has no tribe and is used for a collection of languages used to describe the different languages. My paternal grànhdmother came from the Midwest she was in the Chippewa tribe. But embarrassed she to never learned who she was and her importance in the world. I feel sad and angry fir both of them all their children look native in lufing me although I am a light skinned i have all the classic and beautiful features we continue to educate as many people of this genocide as we can . We have suffered enough. I Wii stand on corners and yell out the manes and ages of our missing sisters, mothers, aunties, our family. We must fight to stop this before it is too late.

    These stories are very disturbing and upsetting
    Prayers for these missing Women families, and Hoping for Safe return
    I believe in the Safety and Well-being Women, Children, and Men
    WOMEN Have the RIGHT to FEEL SAFE and BE SAFE
    This is a reply post regarding a article on Assault Against Woman:
    For what is statistically true, or accurate, and even what is not included statistically, and all other crime such as this is what is ( violence against women) Always unacceptable...
    Women have the Right to Feel SAFE and be Safe...
    No woman..., or person....child...should ever have to experience this kind heinous personal intrusion in their lifetime, this seems to be occurring at least according to news reports more, and all to often.
    Actually this activity should be in a stage, or state of Reversal, and NOT Increasing, I am continually upset as well as greatly disturbed in hearing such stories, as I have always have been...
    My Heart Always... goes out to any person which have experienced any such similar experience of intrusion, attacks, and, or invasion of their personal well-being... due violence, and or violent behavior,
    I will continue Praying for the Safety and Well-Being of Others...
    Keep everyone SAFE
    PLEASE BE SAFE
    Your Life is important
