We Need to Talk About: Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women
2021-06-18
Just a few weeks ago the Federal government launched the MMIWG National Action Plan, two years after the release of the inquiry's final report. Indigenous women, girls, and LGBTQ+ folks are disproportionately at risk of being killed or going missing compared to non-Indigenous folks in Canada. How did we get here and what's being done to redress this issue?
We're joined by Elisha Corbett. Elisha is a PhD candidate at Queen’s University in Political Studies and was a Senior Researcher with the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. Elisha is of Cherokee and Irish decent and currently lives in Gatineau, QC with her partner and two cats. Her research compares how mainstream news media frame MMIWG to how Indigenous peoples and organizations use media to tell these stories.
