The high way of tears is a strip of high way that over 30 young women have gone missing in over 41 years, all of the women were travailing alone down the high way or were around it,
“A Prince George businessman, concerned that another young woman has gone missing along Highway 16 between Prince Rupert and Prince George, launched a website Friday to raise public awareness of seven teenagers and young women who have disappeared or been murdered since 1990 along the so-called Highway of Tears”.(http://www.highwayoftears.ca/sunnews.htm)
I believe that these murders are connected, its to many murders in the same area to not be connected, i dont think the RCMP has been doing a great job trying to catch the man behind this, if they really wanted to catch this guy they would at least know if it was a mass murderer.
It is important for us to fight for children’s rights because they dont have any one else to fight for them, if they could truly voice there opinions then there wouldn’t be a problem with there rights. But they cant if there not educated and are forced to work in harsh conditions they don’t and wont ever know any thing better. So some one needs to stand up for them some one has to be there voice, and i assure you that if one person starts fighting then more people will see and understand why this persons fighting and will also join th fight to stop children’s right from been violated.
“The members of what are now called the First Nations sure seem to get the short end of the stick a lot. Hundreds of years ago, Europeans came to North America and conquered them with booze, smallpox, and superior firepower. In recent decades, the Canadian government abducted native children and locked them up for some forced re-education and abuse. In recent weeks, newspapers have reported notably on unsafe water supplies and inadequate housing on native reserves.” (Bradley Doucet)
If this isn’t unjust then i don’t know what is, the face that native people were here before us and “owned” the land before any one else. when Europeans came and took advantage of them and forced them to live on reserves that could hardly support life shows how much man kind will manipulate every one and every thing around them just to get what thy want. When you take there children and force then to be “white” by making them where north American clothes and speak English and forget there all of there heritage is taking away from there rights as humans to have any religion of choice. these peole live below the poverty line because most of them cant get off there reserves from problems like alcoholism, and not having enough money to get a car or a way to get to school to get an education. Im sure that if they were given and equal chance at every thng they would becoem more superior then most Americans/Canadians.
