Highway 16 is located in a rural, isolated part of the province, yet has one of the highest rates of missing and murdered women, and a disproportionate number of those victims are indigenous.
Through this podcast, we will look at the 80+ victims of the highway, women whose deaths were, in many cases, ignored. Women who were written off as sex workers, hitch hikers, runaways, addicts, and “Just another Indian.” Hopefully, by looking at the cases and the victims, we can find new witnesses, follow the patterns as they form, and shed new light on them.
