of Indigenous children who were abducted from their parents houses and

<<<Rage, despair, disgust>: Canada reels from killings of Indigenous
women
The arrest of an alleged serial killer who targeted Indigenous women in
central Canada has prompted fresh anger and despair that the country has
once again failed in its promises to protect vulnerable women and girls.
Police in Winnipeg announced late on Thursday they had charged Jeremy
Skibicki, 35, with the murder of Morgan Beatrice Harris, 39, and
Marcedes Myran, 26, of Long Plain First Nation, months after he was
accused of killing Rebecca Contois, 24, from O-Chi-Chak-Ko-Sipi First
Nation. Skibicki was also charged in the murder of a fourth, unnamed
victim who is believed to be Indige-nous. The bodies of the three latest
alleged victims have not yet been found. A candlelight vigil was held in
Winnipeg on Thursday evening outside Skibicki’s home as families grieved
the loss of mothers, daughters and a grandmother. <I want her to be
remem-bered as happy-go-lucky. She was silly. She was fun. People loved
to be around her,> said Cambria Harris, Morgan's daughter. Kirstin
Witwicki, Harris's cousin, described the 39-year-old as a <fearless>
mother of five and grandmother. The Manitoba shadow justice minis-ter
Nahanni Fontaine said on Twitter that she and others were expe-riencing
<rage, despair, disgust and unspeakable sadness> following the arrest of
a <monster> who had stalked the community. <This alleged killer walked
amongst us. He was in our city, our neighbour-hoods, our places of work.
He was not invisible. But our women, girls and two-spirited are,> she
wrote. <When will the protection of Indigenous women, girls and
two-spirited be taken seriously? Winni-peg now has the distinction of
having two separate serial killers of Indigenous women. Are we waiting
for a third or fourth to rear their murderous heads?> For some, the
grief was compounded by political leaders' failure to keep promises to
combat decades of violence against Indigenous women. As many as 4,000
Indigenous women and girls are believed to have been killed or gone
missing in Canada over the past 30 years – although the true number of
victims is unli-kely ever to be known. <We have failed you. We will fail
you no longer,> the prime minister, Justin Trudeau, told families in
2019, following a landmark report that concluded <state actions and
inac-tions rooted in colonialism and colonial ideologies> were a key
dri-ving force in the disappearance of thousands of Indigenous women.
The report by the National Inquiry into Murdered and Missing Indigenous
Women and Girls found that Indigenous women are six times more likely to
be murdered than non-Indigenous women. <It's always unsettling whenever
there is any kind of a serial killing,> Winnipeg police chief Danny
Smyth told reporters. <We're very sensitive to the whole missing and
murdered Indigenous women investigation and inquiry and the
recommendations that came out of that.> Police didn't say what evidence
they had to charge Skibicki in the absence of bodies - but said DNA
played a role. They also did not say if there was a known relationship
between the women and the alleged killer. Police in other regions of the
country have recently faced scrutiny over reports that Indigenous people
are over-policed but crimes against them are under-investigated.>>
