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 meticulously 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 provides 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 the 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.

In 2013, the Toronto Police Service announced that the disappearances of three men—Skandaraj Navaratnam, Abdulbasir Faizi, and Majeed Kayhan—from Toronto's gay village were, perhaps, linked. On January 18, 2018, Bruce McArthur would be arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder, and later sentenced for the murders of eight men. This book tells the complete story of the McArthur murders. Based on more than five years of in-depth reporting, this is also a story of police failure, of how the queer community responded, and the story of the eight men and the lives they left behind.

The Inconvenient Indian is at once a “history” and the complete subversion of a history - in short, a critical and personal meditation that the remarkable Thomas King has conducted over the past 50 years about what it means to be “Indian” in North America. Rich with dark and light, pain and magic, this book distills the insights gleaned from that meditation, weaving the curiously circular tale of the relationship between non-Natives and Natives in the centuries since the two first encountered each other.

In February 1959, a group of nine experienced hikers in the Russian Ural Mountains died mysteriously on an elevation known as Dead Mountain. Eerie aspects of the incident—unexplained violent injuries, signs that they cut open and fled the tent without proper clothing or shoes, a strange final photograph taken by one of the hikers, and elevated levels of radiation found on some of their clothes—have led to decades of speculation over what really happened.

An eye opening read.
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.

The good and the bad
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.

Narrator was too fast
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.

A Loving Voice
This story is tragic and a must read for Canadians in particular because it brings to light a terrible pattern threatening young women, most particularly Indigenous women. What is a standout for me in the book is the language the author uses to describe the victims and their family. It’s loving. Regardless of circumstance the murdered women were loved and valued by multiple people in their family and community. The author takes ethnicity away and delivers loving humanity for the victims and their families.
