Thousands of Indigenous women and girls who have vanished or been killed in Canada over the past few decades have been identified as part of a ‘Canadian genocide’, according to a leaked report of a national inquiry.
The report, titled Reclaiming Power and Place includes the testimonies of over 1400 family members and survivors as well as 83 knowledge-keepers, experts and officials.
The investigation was launched in 2016 by the Canadian government after calls from indigenous communities to investigate violence against indigenous women and girls.
