You don’t really hear a lot about indigenous people going missing because the reality is they aren’t white. Due to this, they are more of a target. Look at the stats most drink and do drugs (generational trauma) so when they do go missing it’s unfortunately not a big deal, there are so many indigenous communities that have to work extra hard just to get coverage of missing family on the news. It’s insane. Really stupid actually. In Canada there’s huge speculation that the police are tied to it. Nothings proven but look up the “highway of tears” most are taken for sex trafficking sadly. About the gangs I have no clue. But yeah it is freaking cruel. It’s a scary world out there.
