Call for
Proposals
In May 2019, the National Inquiry on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) released its 1200-page report, which made a systematic case that the crisis constitutes a genocide. This project seeks, in the aftermath of these discoveries and the global pandemic, to return attention to this imporant issue. Among its 231 Calls for Justice, the Report directed certain calls specifically to educators and educational institutions.
