Many people were shocked and confused when the national inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls concluded that Canada as a state has contributed to a genocide of Indigenous peoples, she said. “Those who do not constantly fear for the safety of their mothers and daughters or sisters could simply not understand how the inquiry reached its finding, and they have difficulty acknowledging the genocide or even saying the word,” Groulx said.

In the four years that have passed since, she said, only two of the 231 calls for justice that accompanied that report have been implemented.The group said it plans to send the new graphic guide to every member of Parliament as well as to provincial ministers of education.
