Taken But Not Forgotten

Since 2007, researcher Maryanne Pearce has been compiling a database of missing and murdered women and girls in Canada. Dr. Pearce is now working with Taken to make this information accessible to the public as a resource to better understand the issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. Each one of these women and girls is loved, and missed. We are committed to honouring their memory, and remembering each of them. Details about them, and their cases, are being added to the site on a continuous basis.

If you want to honour one of the missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, an e-ceremony is available, otherwise known as an e-smudge. Various cultures around the world have used smudging for centuries. Smudging is the act of burning herbs, grasses, or resin to cleanse negative energy, to purify, and to bless. E-smudging for the women and girls is intended to show honour and respect for their memory.
