The authorities are not taking action to search for murdered or missing women as a result of racial prejudice, they handle indigenous vs. non-indigenous missing person/murder case differently and do not humanize the person who is missing or murdered. For decades, indigenous women in Canada have been disappearing and dying violently at an increased rate. The authorities pay little attention and under-investigate indigenous missing person/murder case differently vs. non-indigenous. “The news comes as many people across the country continue to call on the newly established Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) inquiry to examine whether police forces under-investigated the deaths and disappearances of hundreds of women” (Ireland 2016).
