As the Assembly of First Nations meets in Vancouver this week, calls rise to address systemic issues facing First Nations women and girls
A coroner’s inquest into Ms. Moore’s death concluded in May. It made several recommendations for change, including access to non-lethal weapons for more officers, and for police to improve their relationship with First Nations communities. The inquest jurors ruled Ms. Moore’s death a homicide.
One of the two resolutions being introduced this week, which was moved by Bear River First Nation Chief Carol Potter, calls on the federal government to disclose how funding for the national action plan is allocated and to establish a third-party oversight body to provide accountability over its implementation. Chief Potter’s motion also urges the AFN to advocate for Ms. Moore’s family.
