Episode 20-Patterns of Neglect: Emily Pike and the MMIP Epidemic
In this episode, we uncover the heartbreaking case of Emily Pike, a young Indigenous woman whose life was tragically cut short. Her story is not just about one life lost-it’s a painful reflection of the larger crisis affecting Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP.)
We’ll explore who Emily was, the circumstances surrounding her disappearance and murder, and the systemic neglect that leaves so many MMIP cases unsolved. Though this discussion, we aim to shed light on the injustice, amplify the voices of those fighting for change, and demand action for Emily and countless others.
