Native women call attention to missing sisters
Thursday, July 29, 2004
The Native Women's Association of Canada has launched the "Sisters in Spirit" campaign to call attention to an estimated 500 Native women who are missing or have been murdered.
The group is seeking 10 million in federal funds to combat violence against Native women. A representative said Native women are more likely to be brutalized.
Some Native groups say cases of missing Native women are not investigated thoroughly.
