In this episode, we talk to the Honourable Marion Buller, the former Chief Commission of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls in Canada. Marion is a member of the Mistawasis Nêhiyawak - a Cree First Nation in Saskatchewan. The National Inquiry considered oral and written testimony and evidence and reviewed tons of research and submissions before concluding that these grave human rights violations against Indigenous women and girls amounts to genocide – both historic and ongoing. Warning: This show discusses violence, sexualized violence, death and other forms of trauma inflicted on Indigenous women and girls. Given the recent revelations of unmarked graves near Indian residential schools and understanding that people may be triggered with discussions related to trauma, Canada has created a 24-Hour Crisis Line for Indian Residential School Survivors and Families: 1-800-721-0066. You can read the Final Report of the National Inquiry here: https://www.mmiwg-ffada.ca/ Supplementary Report on Genocide here: https://www.mmiwg-ffada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Supplementary-Report_Genocide.pdf YouTube video version to be posted shortly: TBD - - - FOLLOW ME ON TIKTOK at pp2cool FOLLOW ME ON IG at pam_palmater FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER at Pam_Palmater - - If you would like more information about these issues, you can check out my website at: https://www.pampalmater.com - - If you would like to support my work and help keep it independent, here is the link to my Patreon account: https://www.patreon.com/join/2144345 - - - Here is the link for Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/pampalmater - - - WARRIOR LIFE PODCAST MERCH: https://www.teespring.com/stores/warrior-life-2 - - - Please note: Nothing in this podcast advocates for violence on Indigenous territories. - - Please also note: The information contained in this podcast/video should not be misconstrued as legal, financial or medical advice, nor should it be relied on as such.
