    • Abstract:
      A national Indigenous women's organization says it has lost confidence in the federal government and is walking away from the "toxic, dysfunctional" process to develop an action plan in response to the nearly two-year-old National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG). The Native Women's Association of Canada announced Tuesday that rather than work with the Canadian government - whose process it called "fundamentally flawed" - it has created its own action plan to address the "Calls for Justice" outlined in the MMIWG inquiry's final report, which was released June 3, 2019.
