> This talk provides a context of historical and present colonization and
gendered violence against Indigenous peoples by the Canadian state. It
takes up the question of why Indigenous women are five times more likely to
die of violence than any other race of women in Canada and how this can be
understood in light of state violence, inaction, and complicity. While
commenting on the recent decision of the UN to launch an inquiry into the
cases of missing and murdered Indigenous women due to the inaction of
Canada, the talk will contextualize this decision and offer thoughts on
Indigenous communities and their struggles for survival and long histories
of resistance. Presented by the Department for Gender, Sexuality & Women's
Studies in partnership with SFPIRG.
