WINNIPEG _ The murder of a 15-year-old native girl found wrapped in a bag and dumped in the Red River is prompting renewed calls for a national inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women.
Tina Fontaine had been in Winnipeg less than a month when she ran away from foster care.
Her body was discovered Sunday in the river and police are treating her death as a homicide.
Manitoba Aboriginal Affairs Minister Eric Robinson says it’s frustrating to hear about yet another tragedy and another family that is now searching for answers.
He says a national inquiry is the only way many families will get the answers they deserve, but the federal government doesn’t consider it a priority.
Claudette Dumont-Smith, head of the Native Women’s Association of Canada, says Fontaine’s murder is shocking and shows no one is taking the vulnerability of aboriginal women seriously.
