I don't have 900 links to back up my source and I don't care to go find any, but my understanding is that, as a group, the percentage of missing Aboriginal women is alarmingly higher than that of any other "group" of women.

I'm not sure what the scope of the inquiry was supposed to be, but a few questions I have would be 1) are missing Aboriginal cases not being investigated as thoroughly by police/RCMP as other missing women/person cases and 2) assuming they are being investigated as thoroughly, why are so many more (% wise) going missing and what sort of safety nets could be put in place to help reduce the number of Aboriginal women in high risk lifestyles, etc.
