Brock, Niagara community gather to learn about MMIWG

Approximately 100 Brock University and Niagara community members gathered in Pond Inlet Thursday, Jan. 23 to hear Karine Duhamel, an Anishinaabe-Métis woman from Manitoba, speak about the National Inquiry for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. Duhamel also spoke about how the inquiry sought to rebuild trust with families and survivors and to honour Indigenous methodologies of finding truths through public hearings and the collection of testimony in a variety of artistic forms. She is pictured here (centre) with Robyn Bourgeois, Assistant Professor with the Centre for Women’s and Gender Studies, and Maureen Lux, Professor with the Department of History. The lecture was sponsored by the Department of History, Centre for Canadian Studies, Centre for Women’s and Gender Studies, Department of Political Science, Department of Sociology, Faculty of Humanities, and Social Justice and Equity Studies.
