I can't help but think of Loretta Saunders, a young and aspiring Inuit student who left her home in Labrador to go to University in Halifax, and was murdered by settlers while there.

what good is going to pursue education or a job and you still get killed?  According to a number of settlers commenting here, the problem lies in the reserve communities, but facts indicate that most murders and disappearances of native women occur in cities, where the settler population is the greatest?    What conclusions can we draw from that?
