Despite the fact that Canada is globally seen as a human rights-abiding nation, it has a long history of colonialism and discrimination against its Indigenous population. The issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls (MMIWG) has gained more global attention which led the Canadian government to launch a national investigation regarding the issue. The National Inquiry conducted hearings with family members and survivors of MMIWG to provide them a place to tell their stories.The purpose of this thesis is to shed light on the treatment of Indigenous women in crime investigation by the police, regarding the issue of MMIWG and examine the underlying factors. Through the use of MMIWG victims' family members' experiences, three recurring themes were highlighted and analysed with usage of indigenous feminist theory to find a connection between the themes and the underlying factors.The analysis showcases indications of discriminatory behaviour by the police and further on the connection between patriarchal and colonialistic structures and the violence against Indigenous women and girls.
