In week 3 of Domestic Violence Month, we're sharing an episode from PNW Haunts & Homicides, hosted by the amazing and talented Caitlyn and Cassie. Normally they focus on all things spooky in the Pacific Northwest, but in this two-part episode, they have branched out to talk about the Highway of Tears.
In case you haven't heard of this, the Highway of Tears refers to a stretch of Highway 16 in British Columbia, Canada, where many Indigenous women and girls have gone missing or been found murdered since the 1970s.
It runs about 450 miles between Prince George and Prince Rupert and is known for being remote and having limited transportation options, making it dangerous for those who need to hitchhike. Covering these tragic cases serves to draw attention to the systemic issues facing Indigenous communities, such as racism, poverty, and a lack of police response, leading to calls for greater action and justice for the victims, and even to a formal inquiry by the Canadian government.
IMPORTANT NOTE! To listen to Part 2 head over to the PNW Haunts and Homicides Website at https://sinspod.co/tears2 or you can always find it wherever you get your podcasts. Head over, listen, and show them some love by following them on all the typical socials.
Here are PNW's Show notes!
This week there's no clever title we're sticking with the name coined for a series of stories that take place along the highway that makes the devastating facts of the case all too clear on its own. Links to the references I would highly recommend for any further independent study on this topic: Highway of Tears Documentary you can watch the Official Trailer here and the Highway of Tears Book.
