229: Dozens of Women Have Been Murdered Along This Infamous Highway & Their Cases Are Not Being Solved

This stretch became known as the Highway of Tears. As the years passed, and many cases remained unsolved, rampant RCMP negligence came to light. A discussion on violence against Indigenous women and generational trauma redirected the public's attention to the systemic issues facing Indigenous people to this very day and the horrific aftermath of colonialism in North America.
