Manitoba manhunt shows lack of resources for missing Indigenous women: advocates
WINNIPEG — Helicopters and a specialized military aircraft scoured from the air while armed police took to the ground over northern Manitoba in a hunt for two suspects of murders in British Columbia.
Some advocates say it’s a stark contrast to resources applied to searches for missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls.
“It is a little bit eyebrow raising because of the different response,” says Sheila North, a former grand chief and advocate for missing and murdered Indigenous women.
“The effort that they are going through to try and find them … could trigger a lot of things for people who do their own searches.”
