Indigenous leaders, politicians, wrap up meeting on missing and murdered Indigenous women

Indigenous leaders and politicians from across Canada wrapped up a one day meeting on Friday (February 27) as part of a National Roundtable on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.

For years there have been calls for a national inquiry into the hundreds of Indigenous women and girls who have gone missing or were murdered in Canada in recent decades. So far the federal government has refused an inquiry.

RCI’s Wojtek Gwiazda has a report.
