Public Inquiry Demanded for Missing Aboriginal Women

There are renewed calls for the federal government to launch a public inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women.

The demand comes from a member of the Grand Council Treaty #3 Women's Executive Council.

Karen Kejick doesn't stop there.

She is also asking the government to increase awareness and funding to combat some of the social determinents behind the violence against aboriginal women.

Kejick says the Council is displeased with the government's lack of support on the issue.
