Carole Wolfe, a deaf Indigenous woman in Saskatoon, bravely shares the story of her daughter's disappearance in 2010. Although Karina Beth-Ann Wolfe struggled with substance abuse, she had just moved in with her mother and brother, and everything seemed fine. On the day she went with a friend to get the last of her possessions, she disappeared. For five years her family suffered, not knowing what had happened until her body was discovered on the outskirts of the city. Her mother's love and anguish from the loss of her only daughter speaks volumes in this touching film told in American Sign Language with voice-over narration. Indigenous people comprise 16% of Saskatchewan's population yet Indigenous women comprise 52% of all missing women in that province. Dr. Winona Wheeler of the University of Saskatchewan reminds us that when the Government of Canada created The Indian Act, it was a piece of legislation that reduced women and children to property and dehumanized them. The Indian Act, rooted as it is in European settler patriarchy and male dominance, has marginalized women and children. Such social, cultural and economic marginalization has turned them into human targets."--Container.
