Mohawk policy analyst Courtney Skye on how the 2019 election platforms address key issues like ending violence against Indigenous women and a climate action plan
Like many First Nations people, I keep a weary and watchful eye on Canadian politics. From John A.
As a Mohawk woman and policy analyst, I’ve spent my career working to advance the safety of Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA people. I understand our historical context and experience firsthand how systemic barriers impact our communities. And I feel profoundly invested in analyzing how the political parties compare when it comes to the issues most deeply impacting Indigenous women.
Do the parties actually invest in ending violence against Indigenous women? I think all people are tired of political promises that don’t translate into concrete action. This is how I feel about the commitment political parties make to ending violence against Indigenous women—the plans and actions put in place must be concrete. It’s a skepticism that other Indigenous women share.
