MISSING WOMEN

Investigative Journalism: 

I’m currently in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and I’ve come to notice a lot of the local issues here are

wildly different than anything I’m used to back in Dallas, Texas. One big issue they have been

facing here is missing and the murdering of indigenous women. There have been many cases

of women belonging to the First Nation’s people found in the Red River at one of the biggest

tourist attractions in Winnipeg, the Forks. Many people have come out to commemorate these

women and honor their memories as best as they know how. In 'Think about the girls': 100s of

painted rocks placed in Winnipeg to remember MMIWG, a woman named Florence Smith has

been painting rocks with a symbol to honor all the women that have gone missing. “They’re

all out

there,” Smith says, “It’s important that people know about these women.”. [1 image, 1 link, 1
