The families of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls say they are being left in the dark by the national inquiry into their loved ones' deaths and disappearances. Families should be engaged "first and foremost" by the inquiry, Hilda Anderson-Pyrz said at a news conference hosted by the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs on Tuesday. Anderson-Pyrz wants the inquiry to print out records of its progress and keep families up to date through radio and television announcements. The national inquiry will be releasing its first newsletter Wednesday to mark International Women's Day, she said. [The inquiry] needs to have the scope and the time to do the work right; otherwise the issue will continue."
