Today is the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and 2SLGBTQQIA.

We encourage you to help spread awareness of the on-going violence and injustices faced by our Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA.

We all have a responsibility to keep our community safe. Unsure how you can make in impact?

***Important Announcement***

Hey Voiceless Warriors!

As you may have heard on our episodes all three of us have had BIG changes happen all at once and we have decided taking a Hiatus for a while to concentrate on our wellbeing and get our lives together was for the best.

Now that we can all see the end of this break, our number one goal is back to bringing awareness to the victimized, missing and murdered Voiceless community. While we have been on our break we have continued to educate ourselves further and research as many cases as we can during our downtime. We will have new content out to you all soon!

What we want to do with this platform and our podcast is much bigger than us and we are going to need everyone's help so we are also working on a community Facebook group where YOU can request our help getting more ears and eyes on your missing or murdered loved ones cold cases. OR if you have further information on the cases we have already covered we can make follow-up episodes.

Good Morning!

My name is Christine, I am one of three hosts here at The Voiceless: A True Crime Podcast. We have taken a break for a bit and will soon be posting new episodes this year.

Our podcast differentiates from the true crime genre style podcasts as we try our best to give a voice to voiceless. The voiceless being those of the LGTBQ+, BIPOC and MMIWMG2S communities.

We wanted to bring their voice back and get more eyes and ears on the problems we are facing with how certain cases just aren't given as much attention as others.

Me and the girls have a printful design made for everyone to buy from my business website the profit is not much for us but 25% of whatever we get will be donated to a non-profit like bear clan/winnipeg indeginious warriors. The other 75% is going towards the cost of software/website fees and after that the rest of it will be donated.

This design was sparked after too many episodes involving injustice and Jana Williams case being completely overlooked.

What are things you would like to see us improve on, change or cover in 2022?

We can’t believe the year has passed already. Our first episode released on January 23rd, we have definitely hit some bumps on the road this year both podcasting and personally but we cannot wait to see what the future holds for our, the podcast and our listeners ! We wouldn’t be here without you all. Here’s to 2022, pushing for more change and recognition for the victims 🖤🖤🖤

***SEXUAL ASSUALT TRIGGER WARNING***

Last night we had the new information of Christopher Belter a ra**st convicted of 3rd degree r**e to 4 other women one of which was 15.
One of which who cried the entire ordeal to which he replied with "Stop fighting and it won't hurt so much".

He is receiving 8 years probation because the Judge believes he isn't right for prison.

Why are we posting this? Well to be honest we are angry. The Voiceless was created to bring a voice to the voiceless. The LGBTQ2S+, MMIWG2S, BIPOC and all women have had TOO many failures regarding their missing persons, murder and r**e cases. That needs to stop. Our goal is to bring as much awareness to the problem that the world is facing within the justice system and police force. We are hoping to bring new eyes to cases that either never saw the light or was forgotten by main stream media. The families never stop fighting for answers and neither will we.

𝑳𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑾𝒆 𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒆𝒕:

An estimated 7,000 First Nations People served in the First and Second World Wars, and the Korean War, with an unknown number of Métis, Inuit and non-Status Indians also serving.

Despite this, it was not until 1995, fifty years after the Second World War, that Indigenous Peoples were allowed to lay Remembrance Day wreaths at the National War Memorial to remember and honour their dead 𝒘𝒊𝒄𝒆𝒘𝒂̂𝒌𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒌 (comrades).

After the First World War, returning veterans did not receive the same assistance as other returned soldiers under the War Veterans Allowance Act.
This policy endured from 1932 until 1936.

Many First Nation veterans from the Second World War found that when they returned home after fighting overseas for Canada, they were no longer considered Indians because the Indian Act specified that Indians absent from the reserve for four years were no longer Indians.

They also did not have the right to obtain other benefits available to non-Indigenous veterans due to Indian Act restrictions.

Between 1932 and 1936, Indigenous veterans on reserves in need of help were to be treated like everyone else on reserves rather than as veterans.

Many Second World War veterans, including Tommy George Prince, the most decorated Indigenous war veteran, re-enlisted for the Korean War simply because they were unable to re-enter their previous lives.

The lives of numerous Indigenous veterans ended in despair and poverty.

PSA - If you are ever lost while hiking, get stranded with a broken down car, etc and you notice your cell phone is either low on juice or has no signal, here is a tip that very well may save your life.
Change the voicemail on your phone to a message that gives your approximate location, the time, the date, your situation (lost, out of gas, car broken down, injured, etc) and any special instructions such as you are staying with the car, you are walking toward a town, etc.... The best part of this is that even if your cell phone dies or stops working, voicemail still works, so anyone calling your phone looking for you will hear the message and know where to find you or where to send help.

It was never the intention of the colonizers to “help”. They saw us as creatures to be destroyed and remade.

Abolish the Indian Act. Listen to Indigenous, First Nations, Inuit, and Métis voices. You walk the earth with survivors of genocide, lost as the government continues to debate whether or not we are worthy of healing, compassion, respect, and clean drinking water.
