It has nothing to do with there being a lot of psychopathic murderers targeting FN women specifically.

Pickton didn't target First Nations women specifically. He targeted vulnerable women, i.e., drug addicted prostitutes who the police didn't care about (the majority of whom happen to be first nations, due of course to those same broad social problems that you referred to.) That is why the Pickton murders are an excellent example of the appalling problem of violence against first nations and aboriginal women in Canada.
