This bulletin was publicized via Facebook by a individual who has long been vigilant for the cause of closure for the families of the many Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women of Canada.


There are a number of questions that have long since begun to gel in terms of the response of Canadian Authorities to this Canadian calamity. 
To begin with, is there a on-going public-accessible listing anywhere that tracks these Murdered and Missing Women cases?
What are some obstacles faced by authorities in their efforts to solve these cases?
What can members of the general public do to assist in this effort?  
Is there any sort of surveilance in place that records the responses, and the quality of the efforts being made by Canadian and American authorties? --American because American Indigenous women are also disappearing without a trace.
 
Members of the Canadian public, mainly Indigenous individuals, have been posting these bulletins very regularly in public places such as their Facebook page, and it seems that the rate of these disappearances may be on the rise. Its very striking that so many young Indigenous women from across Canada are disappearing on such a regular basis, and that the outwardly apparent attitude of the Canadian general public is of a basically passive nature. 
It is almost amazing that the media has apparently dismissed this as something that will not improve the ratings and so can be discounted as being less than 'News Worthy'.
 I beleive that if these missing women and girls were of any other racial group, there would be a fuming uproar across Canada over the apparent lack of ambition on the part of officials to solve these human tragedies.
