À propos de cet audio

 A searing and revelatory account of the missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls of Highway 16, and an indictment of the society that failed them.

For decades, Indigenous women and girls have gone missing or been found murdered along an isolated stretch of highway in northwestern British Columbia. The highway is known as the Highway of Tears, and it has come to symbolize a national crisis.

Journalist Jessica McDiarmid investigates the devastating effect these tragedies have had on the families of the victims and their communities, and how systemic racism and indifference have created a climate where Indigenous women and girls are over-policed, yet under-protected. Through interviews with those closest to the victims—mothers and fathers, siblings and friends—McDiarmid offers an intimate, first-hand account of their loss and relentless fight for justice. Examining the historically fraught social and cultural tensions between settlers and Indigenous peoples in the region, McDiarmid links these cases to others across Canada—now estimated to number up to 4,000—contextualizing them within a broader examination of the undervaluing of Indigenous lives in this country.

Highway of Tears is a powerful story about our ongoing failure to provide justice for missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, and a testament to their families and communities' unwavering determination to find it.

Finished the book last night.
Since I started the book, I started making sure my door is locked at night.
It opened my eyes to how bad life is and was for indigenous women and children. 14 and 15 year old girls who were kidnapped, raped, tortured and killed. Their families left to search on their own with zero support from the local law enforcement. Worried mothers told their child has probably run away to live on the DTES.
My heart breaks for the families left behind.
Ramona Wilson's death is still not solved, eventhough someone had called in saying they were there and know what happened. The police did not follow up on that lead. But if she was a different, more accepted race, her murder would have been solved.

An eye opening read.

The performance was good and easy to listen to. soothing in a way. I live that the story was specific to what is going on with Canada’s indigenous communities in the Pacific north west, especially the women and girls missing on highway 16. The stories are horrific and seem hopeless to ever be resolved. Yet, most indigenous books I have read are under the Anishnaabe in Ontario. So, I wanted something different. I enjoyed hearing some of the stories of those who went missing and a glimpse of what the police/RCMP were doing to investigate (or lack of due to people, money and interest). sadly, all the stories seem like the beating horse trophy that they keep happening and either nothing gets done. Or little gets done or the investigation is riddled with issues. The same goes with the Inquiry for the murdered and missing women and girls. Not sure where to break the cycle or how to bring solace to many loved ones. an issue with the books is how it was organized. All the stories seemed all over the place and stitched to make a mesh of what happened to those who went missing. the police investigations, the different walks for awareness, going to the media and the inquiry. Those are the general buckets of what happened, yet, the content was not cohesive.

The good and the bad

This book is a really good look into the details of the Highway of Tears but the narrator made it difficult to follow. She runs paragraphs together, making it difficult to understand when a subject changes. This makes the book feel disconnected and hard to follow. If I were reading this book and could see the paragraph breaks, I don't think I would have this problem.

Narrator was too fast
