Not to worry I will not go on about the treatment of women in your country Sriram.
But let's not be misleading. Thousands of women HAVE NOT been killed and their bodies dumped into the Red River. Yes thousands have been murdered and or gone missing. Over the decades, I would say since the white settling into the Prairies, my ancestors being moved onto reservations and Metis settlements, women have been more victimized than ever. I will start with how my kin, the Cree, and our main enemy, the Blackfoot confederacy, viewed women. Women were possessions to be sold, traded, beaten, shared and so on. When the white whiskey traders showed up out here, many a Cree iskwew was traded by their husbands for booze.
So we couldn't adjust and still haven't, to the modern ways. We were fighters and hunters. I have a video that I show of some Cree fellas going around the Samson Cree nation showing all the burnt out, government paid for homes. This reservation I have spent time on. It is how the video portrays it. Gang violence and murders, sexual abuse, drug abuse, all is contributing to the plight of native women on and off reserve. Most murders and deaths are at the hands of the native men. Did you realize that until very recently a native woman had zero matrimonial property rights. The government changed this and the first nation chiefs fought against this change of giving women equality.
I am afraid that this royal commission is going to ignore the truth and give the native men a pass. I believe this commission will be focused on blaming the Royal Canadian Mounted police, the government, and will be a weapon to demand more money with no accountability on how it is used by chiefs and councils.
There is blame to go to the police for not treating the disappearances and murder investigations as seriously as they would for a girl or lady from the suburbs of Calgary. There is a historical blame to the Brits, and French and then Canadian government for how they treated and dealt with my kin. BUT nothing will stop this if we don't look at the behaviour and abuse at the hands of us aboriginal men. What good will come of it if all that happens is the whites get the blame and the native men are passed over due to political correctness?
Many aboriginal women that leave the reservations and Metis settlements find themselves at the mercy of the hard drinking and drug abusing white scum in the cities. And they have been murdered by this scum. But the truth is most have been murdered and gone missing by the hands of native men.
I was enraged at the government and aboriginal agenda about 12 yrs ago. I got a phone call, it was a first nation employee of the federal government. The purpose of his call was that he had access to my adoption records and he spent an hour trying to persuade me that most likely, I was removed by force and not given up for adoption. There is no proof of this. I know my real name, I know about my Cree birth mom and her large family. All I know of my birth father was that he is French. I mean what the hell was that about. Why the federal government felt it had to try and turn my world upside down is beyond me. Well they didn't convince me and it would be a mistake on their part to ever try that again with me.
