Yesterday was National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Native Women and Girls in the United States. Given my work as Commission Counsel in Canada's National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (and Two Spirit People), I began reflecting on the testimony of witnesses I assisted as Commission Counsel at the National Inquiry. My reflections turned to a desire to track down and personally archive all of the official transcripts documenting my examination work as Commission Counsel. I have decided to link to copies of those transcripts here on the blog. These transcripts include testimony from survivors of violence as well as family and friends of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and two spirit people.
