What is the other side of the story?

Now that we have look at one side we need to look at the other. The "white persons'" side is quite different from the First Nation point of view. The families of the victims somewhat blame the police (the Whitman's justice system)  for their losses but also for not knowing what happened to their family members because of the police telling them they could't tell them anything and not looking in to things when their family came distressed to them.

One example of this was with Calinda Waterhen  her father kept going to the police asking if they knew what happen to his daughter and maybe look into in but they told him they couldn't do anything and they knew that her health card was being used, this was in the spring of 1993. About 2 years later Steve Morningchild (Calinda Waterhen's father) had a RMCP officer at his door. this is what happen (according to the book. " "I want too talk to you outside " the officer said. Morningchild followed him out to his police cruiser. "I'm sorry to inform you that your daughter is one of the women whose body was found down near Saskatoon," the officer said.

"I started screaming at hime," Steve remembers. "I wanted to get out of the car and beat the shit out of him. They lied to me all this time. Why didn't they look into it when I asked them?"" pg 106

 This was minor in my opinion compared to  Eva Taysup's family's experience. Her parent got a call one night from her and she was scared and wanted to see them right away but her parent couldn't get to Saskatoon for two weeks, when they got their she was no where to be found. Her family issued a missing persons report may times but no public annulment was made. The family was losing hope but 2 year later they could out what happen to her but Bev (Eva's sister) states this "I already had a negative attitude toward white people,"..."Growing up in a little town, I ran into a lot of prejudiced people. I've been called squaw lots of times. It kind of grew to the point where I have anger toward white people in general. After this happened to Eva my anger grew, even though I know you can't blame a whole race for the actions of one man." pg 113

It is not hard to see why these people have hostility two "White people" and the justice system after reading this book and knowing about their experiences. There is always multiple sides to one story but this side is the saddest of them.
