Head of missing, murdered indigenous women inquiry says ‘concrete’ recommendations needed – Global News
September 1, 2016
Marion Buller said “concrete” recommendations are needed as she begins her new job of heading up the national inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women.
When Buller looks back on the Saskatchewan First Nation territory where she spent her summers growing up, some of her childhood friends are no longer there.
They are aboriginal women who went missing or were murdered, part of a tragic phenomenon in Canada that Buller is now tasked with examining as head of the inquiry.
“The impact on me has been to understand the tremendous loss to the families, and not just the loss to the family but the loss to the community as a whole,” she said in an interview Wednesday with The Canadian Press.
