In this chapter, Cherry explores how colonialism and anti-Indigenous racism impact how the media reports on missing and murdered Indigenous wome. She offers a first hand account through her interview with Meggie, whose sister was a victim of violent crime. Cherry explores what it means to be trauma-informed and how to integrate this practice into crime reporting in her discussion with the indigenous reporter Angela Sterritt.
