I asked that because we're witnessing in real time, for example, militarized RCMP involved in excessive violence against indigenous women who are defending their unceded lands and territories. In the Wet’suwet’en territory, for example—I often use that example—they used an axe, a chainsaw and a guard dog to rip down a door. Two women were behind the door, totally unarmed.
How does the involvement of state police within these resource extractions further implicate the federal and provincial governments' failure to ensure that indigenous women are protected and that their minimum human rights are also protected?
