Re: Chillwack Progress Editor’s Note, Sept. 2, 2022, “A red dress in the woods on pipeline route.”
I must add that where the oil goes also goes missing Indigenous women. The two are greatly connected.
Where major industrialization happens with our natural resources, these become hotspots for missing indigenous women. They are more connected than you know.
See “Pipeline of Violence: The Oil Industry and Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women” in the Immigration and Human rights Law Review (lawblogs.uc.edu/ihrlr/2021/05/28/pipeline-of-violence-the-oil-industry-and-missing-and-murdered-indigenous-women).
