Between 8 Nov 2021 and 17 Feb 2022 AL Jazeera published a serial of articles about femicides of Canadian Indigenous women and girls of which each word is so
heartbreaking that it takes a lot of courage to read the whole serial. Still I challenge you to do so! I divided it according to the
number of articles and quoted from them ending with a read more URL. All

<<Al Jazeera wins 'best feature' Native American journalism award
Al Jazeera contributor Brandi Morin has won Best Feature Story at the
Native American Journalists Association (NAJA) Awards for her story
Canada’s 'crying shame': The fields full of children’s bones.
The top prize was conferred by jurors for the 2022 NAJA Awards for the
feature, which was published through the Slow Journalism/-Features unit
for Al Jazeera English Online. As part of her ongoing reporting about
Indigenous communities, Morin's feature delves deeper into the dark
history of Canada's residential schools, a net-work of some 139
institutions that forcibly separated Indigenous children from their
parents and were established with the intention of eroding Indigenous
culture, language, family and community ties.
From the time the first school opened in 1831 until 1996, some 150,000
First Nations, Inuit and Metis (mixed race) children in Canada were
forced to take up room and board at the schools that were notorious for
the neglect and physical, emotional and sexual abuse of children. The
Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) of Canada estimates between
4,000 to 6,000 deaths at the schools.
In her story, Morin looks at the effect of the Canadian
government-funded and church-administered schools from the perspective
of those who survived them – men and women who, generations later, are
still haunted by the abuses they and their loved ones endured.
When the Canadian government denied a 2009 request for funding to locate
unmarked graves, some First Nations groups began using their own
resources to hire specialists operating ground-penetrating radar. The
first sets of bones were discovered in 2021, setting off a wave of
similar discoveries near former residential schools across the country.
During an unprecedented visit to Canada 14 months later, Pope Francis
publicly apologised to Indigenous people for the <evil> of residential
schools. <We are delighted to see Brandi's unrelenting commitment to
telling Indigenous stories and centring Indigenous voices and
perspectives recognised with this award,' said Carla Bower, managing
editor of Al Jazeera English Online. <And we're grateful to the
survivors who shared their stories with us. We must continue to hear
their voices and to tell the stories of the children who never made it
out of these institutions alive.> Originally founded as the Native
American Press Association in 1984, NAJA's stated mission is to serve
and empower Indigenous journalists through programmes and actions
designed to enrich journalism and promote their cultures. The
Emmy-award-winning Al Jazeera documentary strand Fault Lines also won
second place in the TV – Best Coverage of Native America category for
Buried Truths: America's indigenous boarding schools, a documentary
about the United States' own dark past with Indigenous boarding schools.
Honourable mentions also went to Al Jazeera contributor Delaney Nolan
for The Louisiana Indigenous community fighting for hurricane justice
and to the Al Jazeera English TV report Native American Children Faced
Cultural Genocide in Boarding Schools.>>
