On a national day of awareness honouring missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, the Ontario Native Women’s Association (ONWA) has launched a new tool they hope will empower Indigenous women and end the violence against them.

ONWA executive director says missing and murdered Indigenous inquiry needs a restart.

Already struggling with the rescheduling of a series of meetings and a number of key resignations, the missing and murdered Indigenous women inquiry hit another setback with the withdrawal of support from the Ontario Native Women’s Association.

ONWA, which had been granted standing for all three phases of the inquiry, on Tuesday released an open letter detailing a number of concerns with the inquiry, concluding the organization cannot support the current format and approach.

Executive director Cora-Lee McGuire-Cyrette said ONWA only found out about the fall schedule from media reports, arguing that shows a lack of procedure for the inquiry.

“It needs a restart,” McGuire-Cyrette said.

“We have to seriously look at the road we’re going down and they need to stop and begin to listen to the community. That’s part of an inquiry, is to listen in order to get substantial recommendations for this very important cause. We can no longer do harm to our most vulnerable population.”

will always use this blog as a space to uplift indigenous art and voices and wisdom AND I’m feeling called to shift to sharing more deeply on womb wisdom, female hormones, plant and animal medicine, infradian cycles, food systems and food sourcing, the relationship between our earth and our bodies, and as a space to create community around what it means to be connected to and grounded in the wild woman

In Igbo “onwa” means moon and I’ve been using this language to connect more deeply with my ancestry and my cyclical nature and heal my relationship with my body. So welcome welcome to the Onwa Collective. More to come soon
