APTN Investigates identified more than 600 missing and murdered Indigenous men and boys in Canada since 1974.

When the issue of murdered and missing Indigenous women first came to light, the Native Women’s Association of Canada released a study that found more than 500 missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls.

That number grew to 4,000 after the national inquiry into missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls released its report.

So the number could be incredibly higher.

Some incredibly harrowing stories here from BC’s “Highway of Tears”.
