« Highway of Tears »
Families all along Canada’s Highway 16 – a 425-mile stretch of road
that cuts through pine forests, rivers and remote Indigenous reserves
in British Columbia – are searching for their missing loved ones.
Amnesty International estimates that 32 Indigenous women have gone
missing in the last three decades along what has been dubbed the
« Highway of Tears ».(Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy/2006/21mins)
&

Maisy Odjick and Shannon Alexander, last seen September 6, are two of
more than 582 missing or murdered aboriginal women in « Canada ». This
