Manitoba delegation telling UN about risks faced by young Indigenous women

The root causes of the missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls epidemic — and possible solutions — are on the agenda as Manitobans head to New York for a presentation to a United Nations conference. 

Sheila North Wilson, grand chief of Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak, is one of five people that will speak about the risks facing Indigenous Canadians transitioning from life on a rural reserve to life in an urban environment.
