Carrier Sekani Tribal Council chief Mina Holmes says the outcome of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls national inquiry has left her encouraged.
In a report issued Monday, the MMIW issued 231 recommendations. Holmes said the next step is to pursue meaningful change through collaboration between all levels of government.
She also made note of the decision to use the term "genocide" rather than "cultural genocide."
"Most important is the transformative change for Indigenous women in this country," Holmes said.
"The persecution of Indigenous women must stop and we must now begin a new journey of hope and promise. The National Action Plan must be implemented immediately in order to stop the ongoing genocide."
