Between 2001 and 2015, homicide rates for Indigenous women were nearly 6x higher than for non-Indigenous women.

Today marks 10 years since my beautiful cousin Angela Pitseolak went missing.
This summer, my aunt Kathy, called me ‘Pitsiulaaq’ for the first time since we lost her.

Please say our name and call her home to us

I have another loved one on the list of 10 cases that the RCMP is highlighting.
Mary Ann was my friend. We were 15. She was so beautiful and fun. It was earth shattering to hear of her death.
Please help bring justice to her and her loving family.
