Yes, they are almost 6 times more likely to be murdered than non-indigenous women.

Yes, I was of the belief that their risk would be higher due to many factors, not the least of which is probability of involvement in prostitution (consensual or not) and substance abuse and lower IQ and general boredom,

What they won’t tell you is that indigenous men are 11 times more likely to be accused of murder than non-indigenous men.

Didn't realize that. However that would make sense.

More than half of the homicides of Indigenous women were committed by a family member and a quarter by an acquaintance.

I would believe that, hence my cadaver dogs on reserves comment. I'm not sure if they would be mostly spontaneous murders of "annoying" women or in anger due to theft or other behavior on the part of the female, or to cover-up rape or what.

They choose their a words and stats carefully to paint a picture (“mass graves”) while conveniently leaving out other key details.

The NEWS (CBC) went from "graves" to "remains" to "bodies" ... despite that none of it has been proved so far (though certainly it is known that some schools had graves ONCE MARKED with wooden markers which rotted away. But now I'm wondering how many of the deceased Indigenous students were killed by other Indigenous students.
