Grieving parents support call for national inquiry

The latest call for a national inquiry on the disappearance and murders of hundreds of First Nations women included tearful testimony from the parents of a teenager killed in Kamloops last week.

Glen Wilson and Matilida Fowler both sobbed as they talked about losing their 16 year old daughter C-J Morningstar Fowler.

They say they just want to know why she was taken from them and who took her.

Their tragedy is the latest prompting calls for a national inquiry.

Assembly of First Nations Chief Shawn Atleo says there is no good reason for the loss of this life and other native leaders say we can’t just treat this as ‘just another dead indian’.
