Pauktuutit Inuit Women of Canada adds it voice to the many expressions of concern being raised about the lack of communication by the National Inquiry Into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.
Pauktuutit would like to clarify its position about the national inquiry on MMIWG in relation to an opinion by Senator Patterson published in the National Observer on September 21, 2016.
Pauktuutit Inuit Women of Canada expressed continued disappointment today at the lack of an Inuk Commissioner on the National Inquiry Into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. The Inquiry was launched this morning in Ottawa.
Pauktuutit Inuit Women of Canada will hold a press conference on Wednesday August 3, 2016 in Ottawa to respond to the launch of the National Inquiry Into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG)
In February, 2016, Pauktuutit, with the support of Minister Carolyn Bennett and officials at Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada, held a pre-consultation meeting in Ottawa that brought together Inuit family members, representatives of a number of regional and national Inuit organizations, subject matter experts and others.
