The Liberal government’s repeated refusal to treat CAP as an equal participant in MMIWG2S+ discussions perpetuates a dangerous, fictional hierarchy within Indigenous advocacy‼️It further sidelines some of the most vulnerable Indigenous communities at a time when they need their voices heard the most. ‼️CAP will continue to call on the federal government to recognize its legal and moral obligation to engage with all Indigenous peoples, without discrimination, and ensure that off-reserve, non-status, and urban Indigenous women are fully included in critical policy discussions. ⚖️ “ The issue of #MMIWG2S+ doesn’t end on reserve. The voices of all Indigenous women must be heard, and any exclusion is a violation of dignity and human rights. ” - CAP National Chief Brendan Moore. ‼️This exclusion is unacceptable. The Congress of Aboriginal Peoples | Congrès des peuples autochtones (CAP) has been a national advocate for Métis, status and Non-status Indians, and Southern Inuit Indigenous People living off-reserve in Canada for over 50 years‼️ #CDNPoli #SENCan #IndigenousRights #MMIWG2S+ #Canada #Reconciliation #SocialJustice #HumanRights #IndigenousIssues

‼️ The federal government continues to uphold a colonial hierarchy by excluding the very communities most impacted by the violence. ➡️The Congress of Aboriginal Peoples (CAP) has been the national voice for off-reserve Indigenous Peoples since 1971. ➡️Representing the interests of Métis, status and Non-status Indians, and Southern Inuit Indigenous People living off-reserve across Canada. ‼️Excluding CAP from the National Indigenous-Federal-Provincial-Territorial Roundtable on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2SLGBTQI+ People is denying the voices and participation of hundreds and thousands of Indigenous women, families, and survivors‼️ ‼️ Excluding CAP from discussions on MMIWG2S+ is contrary to Canada’s reconciliation commitments and violates principles outlined in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). #MMIWG2S+ #mmiwawareness #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs #UNDRIP #HumanRights #CDNPOLI #IFPT #whywewearred #nomorestolensisters

❗Unfortunately, this is the second year in a row the government has excluded CAP from the roundtable, ignoring the voices of urban Indigenous women.❗ The Congress of Aboriginal Peoples is appalled that the federal government is continuing its divisive policies by excluding CAP from the National Indigenous-Federal-Provincial-Territorial (IFPT) Roundtable on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2SLGBTQI+ People. ❗Since 2015, CAP has participated in the design and scope of the MMIWG National Inquiry. ❗Held a National Summit on the issue. ❗Had standing at the National Inquiry. ❗Was a member of the core working group on the National Action Plan. ❗Worked with Victim Services Canada among several other initiatives & actions. A special thank you to Waneek Horn-Miller for standing with us and being our summit moderator. - - - #MMIWG2S #MMIMB #MMIWGActionNow

The Congress of Aboriginal Peoples | Congrès des peuples autochtones (CAP)hosts its own roundtable on the issue of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2SLGBTQI+ People in response to being excluded. “With or without the support from Ottawa, CAP will continue to advocate for our people and MMIWG2S+, regardless of where they live,” says National Chief Moore. “I sincerely hope the next government will listen to the voices of all Indigenous peoples.” ‼️Excluding CAP from the National Indigenous-Federal-Provincial-Territorial Roundtable on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2SLGBTQI+ People is denying the voices and participation of hundreds and thousands of Indigenous women, families, and survivors‼️ #MMIWG2S+ #MMIWGActionNow #CDNPoli

Reconciliation must include all Indigenous Peoples — anything less is unjust. As former Congress of Aboriginal Peoples Chief Harry Daniels (1940-2004) said during the 1981 Constitution discussions, “We are talking about a just society, it can’t be just for some Aboriginal People and not others!”
