The Stolen Sisters

This is a people who lived and still live in a state of oneness and respect for the earth and all its creatures, recognizing what we are only just coming to recognize, that when we cause harm, we harm ourselves.

Stolen Sisters is a moving and deeply shocking work of investigative journalism that makes the claim that not only is Canada failing its First Nations communities, but that a feminicide is taking place.

Since the 80’s there have been well over six hundred “documented” cases of missing and murdered aboriginal women in Canada. “No one knows exactly how many Indigenous women have been murdered or gone missing in Canada over the past three decades… However, we do know with certainty that the marginalization of Indigenous women in Canadian society has led to an extremely high risk of violence. I hope we can see a time when all this injustice and marginalization will be a memory and a time in which we can all hold our hands together despite of race, sex or religious belief. Via personal testimonies, interviews, press clippings and official documents, Walter pieces together the disappearance and loss of these two young lives, revealing these young women to us through the voices of family members and witnesses.The broadest selection of online bookstores.

It breaks my heart that there are circumstances in many parts of the world right now that would call for such a term but Canada? The Stolen Sisters. As in most colonized or war torn areas of our predominantly patriarchal world, it is frequently women who suffer most, who are marginalized and often pushed into dangerous and degrading situations and circumstances such as homelessness and sex work.In Canada, there is still a lingering effect of deep rooted colonial patterns of perception and of thinking, a hierarchy of worth that renders Indigenous women more susceptible to violence and indignities, contributes to a failure to investigate crimes against them immediately and thoroughly.
