Manitoba Indigenous chiefs frustrated, call for more action over MMIWG
“Sit down with us; let’s work on this together,” Settee said. “We have the solutions but we don’t have the resources and if they want us to do the job for them we will – just give us the resources. We’ll do it.”Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations Marc Miller says despite significant investments, last week’s tragedy shows there is more to be done.“No one can stand in front of you with confidence to say this won’t happen again and I think that’s kind of shameful,” Miller said.
“Whether it’s reform child and family services, whether it’s the work we need to do to keep Indigeneous women and children physically safe by building more shelters, getting those out quicker than they’re going out now, making sure there are 24-hour safe spaces,” Miller said. But until significant changes are finally made, the constant grieving process just continues for those who have lost loved ones.
“It’s so sad and it breaks my heart as the grand chief of AMC , as a mother, as a grandmother, as an auntie, that our young First Nation women are being taken where they would have had long lives, where they would’ve been able to have their families, been able to be loved,” Cathay Merrick said. “Their families loved them, their communities loved them.”
