As for the MMIW... I have a strong hunch that by far the biggest threat to aboriginal women is aboriginal men. If the inquiry reaches that finding... is that going to make people happy?
What bothers me the most about MMIW is not so much who is killing the women, it's the the way police don't care to bring the perpetrators to justice. It's similar to the Pickton murders where police allowed 50 women get killed and didn't follow up on leads because the women were mostly drug-addicted prostitutes.
It bothers me that their lives are deemed too inconsequential to investigate and to bring closure to their families.
Whatever they find as the biggest threat to aboriginal women, I'm sure the investigation will also show a systematic ambivalence to solve their murders.
I'm not aboriginal so I can't speak for the community, but the ambivalence is the bigger issue as far as I'm concerned than who is doing the killing.
