Northwest Archive of notes on Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls



With the two year Commission of inquiry into the Murder and Disappearance of Indigenous Women and Girls heading into its community hearings stage, we will begin to track many of the items of note from the inquiry phase for the Northwest through this Archive page.

Below we will feature links from various news services, as well as any original material that we may include as the months move forward.

The anchor point for the Archive will be found on our Right hand column under Extra Editions.

The Introduction of the Commission can be viewed here from the Federal Government website.

This archive is a companion one to our larger listing of articles and notes from across Canada, which you can access from our political portal D'Arcy McGee here.

The Northwest Archive features items background on items and issues directly related to the region, or culled from a range of local media sources.

Our review of news items can be found below, items noted with NCR come from our original contributions to the theme from the North Coast Review:
