Week 10: Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls, Inuit Perspectives I found myself very relieved to finally discuss the murdered and missing Indigenous women and girls in Canada, a topic that receives devastatingly little attention in the mainstream media. When thinking about this journal article, I automatically knew that I wanted to contribute to Metis artist Jaime Black’s (2014) REDress project, which was started as a way to build attention to the realities of the missing and…

Inuit and Haida There are many different tribes in the world. Two specific tribes are the Inuit and Haida.
