dc.description.abstract	On almost a daily basis in Canada, there are news stories of violent attacks against Indigenous women. The statistics of violence and deaths are haunting. Quite simply, Canada is in the grip of a national tragedy that has been unfolding over many years. Adding to the tragedy is that many believe there is no reprieve in sight, given what they see as the historical systemic disregard and failure of the Canadian government and law enforcement to address its colonial history that has been the cornerstone in dealing with Indigenous people. Clear examples of policy and law failures to protect Indigenous women are seen in the Pickton murders, the Tina Fontaine murder, and the attack against young Rinelle Harper. There are many more.
