Genocide Against First Nations Women And Girls Deconstructed
![Jese Leos](https://bookshelfspot.com/author/glenn-hayes.jpg)
In recent years, the dark reality of the genocide against First Nations women and girls in North America has finally started to gain attention. This article aims to deconstruct the extent of this genocide, shedding light on its causes, impact, and the urgent need for justice.
The Historical Context
For centuries, First Nations women and girls have been subjected to systemic violence, discrimination, and marginalization. This began with European colonization, which led to the loss of their lands, culture, and autonomy. As a result, they were forced into segregated reserves, where poverty, inadequate healthcare, and educational opportunities became prevalent.

This historical context set the stage for the ongoing genocide targeting First Nations women and girls. Whether through intentional actions or negligence, the Canadian and American governments have failed to address their systematic vulnerabilities, thus perpetuating the cycle of violence and injustice.
The Harsh Reality
The statistics surrounding the violence against First Nations women and girls are shocking. According to a comprehensive report by the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls in Canada, Indigenous women are 12 times more likely to experience violence compared to non-Indigenous women. The report also reveals the existence of over 1,200 missing or murdered Indigenous women and girls in Canada within the past 30 years.
Similar trends can be observed in the United States, where Native American women face disproportionate rates of violence, with the majority of cases remaining unsolved or unreported. These figures highlight the systemic failures in addressing and preventing violence against First Nations women and girls.
The Role of Colonialism and Patriarchy
Colonialism and patriarchy intertwine to perpetuate the ongoing genocide against First Nations women and girls. The colonization process dismantled the traditional roles and power structures within Indigenous communities, leading to the marginalization of women.
Patriarchal values, deeply ingrained within Western society, further exacerbate the vulnerability of Indigenous women and girls. The objectification and hypersexualization of Indigenous women contribute to the prevalence of sexual violence and exploitation they endure.
The Importance of Acknowledgment and Action
It is essential to acknowledge and understand the genocide against First Nations women and girls to pave the way for collective action. Awareness alone is not enough; concrete steps must be taken to break the cycle of violence and advocate for justice.
Reconciliation processes, starting from governmental actions, are crucial to address the historical and ongoing injustices inflicted upon First Nations women and girls. Indigenous communities should be involved in the decision-making process, allowing for the reconstruction of their autonomy, culture, and systems of support.
The genocide against First Nations women and girls is a devastating reality that demands our attention and immediate action. By deconstructing the historical context, recognizing the role of colonialism and patriarchy, and emphasizing the need for acknowledgment and action, we can strive towards a society where Indigenous women and girls are safe, empowered, and free from violence.

With just over 2% of the US population and over 4% of the Canadian population indigenous, the percentage of missing, raped and murdered Native North American females is off the charts compared to the general population. Tragically, the long bloody history of genocide against the original North American inhabitants has changed little over the centuries. The genocidal governmental policies of the Commonwealth of Canada, the Roman Catholic and Anglican Churches as well as both nations’ racist Bureau/Department of Indian Affairs have long targeted indigenous people, as has Western imperialism subjugated and slaughtered virtually all aboriginal populations across the planet. Indigenous cultures offer spiritual wisdom sorely lacking in the Western culture bent on the exploitation and conquest of nature and humanity. This presentation investigates the most fundamental lessons in the violent violation and loss of innocents of Mother Earth extended to the indigenous women and girls in North America. Their current dire mistreatment and mass murder in both Canada and the US must be brought to an end now. Arresting and convicting the criminals will accomplish the task.
Native American women are victims of sexual assault at a rate five times higher than that of Asian American woman, and two and a half times more than Caucasian American and African American women. A DOJ study found that 61% of Native American women have been sexually assaulted, and 84.3% physically assaulted. In a National Institute of Justice study, among the 56.1% majority of female Native victims it found that experienced sexual violence in their lifetime, 96% of them reported that their perpetrators were non-Native. Both white women and Native American women are more likely to be sexually assaulted by white men than men of any other race. In fact, another study shows that 80% of Native women who suffer sexual violence, have white males as their perpetrators. Still another report found that 94% of Native women in Seattle were raped or coerced into sex at least once in their lifetime. On top of all this, the murder rate for Native women is ten times the national average of many nations.
