Today, while my family lays Loretta's body to rest in Labrador, millions
around the world are marking International Women's Day, a day to honour
achievements of women and re-commit to all the work that still needs to be
done. It's a painful and also a powerful day to remember and honour my
cousin.

On Thursday the federal Special Committee on Violence Against Indigenous
Women tabled a shameful report that pretends there is no problem and says
there should be no inquiry. It's a slap in the face for our family and the
families of all other missing and murdered Aboriginal women. It's also
motivation to work harder.

*As we grieve and celebrate Loretta's life today, please hold our family in
your thoughts, and help us complete her work by spreading the call for a
public inquiry into the deaths and disappearances of Aboriginal women
across Canada. *

*Please ask your friends to add their voices to my petition by forwarding
the email below.

Our call for public inquiry into the over 800 cases of murdered and missing
Aboriginal women is growing and will only get louder. Minister for the
Status of Women Kellie Leitch must understand this.

*Over 100,000 have signed my petition.* 23,000 have signed the Native
Women's Association of Canada's petition that they delivered the day
Loretta went missing. Premiers across the country, federal NDP opposition
critics Niki Ashton and Jean Crowder, as well as Liberal critic Carolyn
Bennett, every political party leader in Nova Scotia, and the UN Special
Rapporteur for Indigenous Issues have all said a public inquiry is
needed. *It's
only a matter of time.*

This morning, I had a grounding phone conversation with Loretta's thesis
supervisor Darryl Leroux, the person who was closest to Loretta's work. He
told me he believed Loretta would fully support our current efforts to have
this subject brought to light for indigenous women.

*Please forward the message below to your friends and help us build a
powerful call to action for aboriginal women that the Government cannot
ignore. *

Thank you,

Holly Jarrett

Hi,

I'm supporting this petition started by Loretta Saunders' cousin Holly
Jarrett calling for a national public inquiry into the deaths and
disappearances of over 800 Aboriginal women in Canada.

Loretta was a 26 year old Inuit woman who was writing her university
honours thesis on missing and murdered Aboriginal women when tragically,
last month, she was added to that list. She went missing on February 13th
and her body was found last week.

Holly has committed to completing Loretta's work for justice for aboriginal
women and now over 100,000 have signed her petition. Several Provincial
Premiers, all three political party leader in Nova Scotia, and the UN
Special Rapporteur for Indigenous Issues have all said a public inquiry is
needed.
