Special Committee on Violence Against Indigenous Women committee  My name is Connie Greyeyes and I hail from Fort St. John, British Columbia. My first nations community is in Wabasca, Alberta. I'm a member of the Bigstone Cree Nation. I'm the mother of two sons. I have 12 siblings and about 33 nieces and nephews. I think what you're seeing here in listening to all these stories is the direct result of how this country has treated aboriginal people from the get-go.
