Just Another Indian

This book will make one think deeply about voices from the bottom of your heart. This book states that young, Native women from broken homes and who sometimes prostituted themselves are basically ignored by their nation and nobody cares about them. It tells about kidnapping and murder of First Nations women, and nobody cares enough to look for them. The killer had killed before, yet he was given a light sentence. There was a lack of media coverage and nobody cared to let people know what happened to the girls who went missing. The killer sought Native prostitutes because white prostitutes may have been undercover policewomen and the police rarely hired Native women. The slowness with which the Mounties sought this man may have led to more deaths and abuse of Native women. I think the book sheds a bad light on Canada. I think that the police not talking about who's gone missing and keeping it quiet without any warning of the cases for everyone to watch out, made everything worse. More murders started happening, because the guy was seeking for attention and the police wouldn't give it to him. Police are putting more people at risk and i feel like they actually aren't doing their job, just saying they're going to do something but cover it up and it not be resolved. My concern is did they ever actually care and are they just being sexist , because its young indian girls nt white young girls.
