MMIWG inquiry begins hearings in Saskatoon
Commissioners for the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) arrived in Saskatoon Monday to set up for three days of testimony from families and survivors.
Over 80 First Nations and Métis families are scheduled to testify at the Sheraton Cavalier this week in both public and private settings.
More are expected to come as they hear about the proceedings, and will be able to tell their stories to statement-gatherers in private.
An opening ceremony including honour songs, dances and fiddle jigs was held Monday afternoon along with a grand entry of dignitaries invested in the inquiry.
