dc.description.abstract This thesis examines the response the Canadian government has given to the public calls for inquiry into the disappearance of Aboriginal women. With over 500 missing Aboriginal women, non-governmental organizations as well as citizens of the state have urged the government of Canada to respond adequately. Through this thesis I will use media sources, as well as non-governmental organizations reports to illustrate how long the public call for inquiry has been going on. These articles and reports will also demonstrate the response of the Canadian government. I will determine whether or not the current federal government of Canada views Aboriginal people and their communities to be part of a state of exception. Through qualitative interviews with a non-governmental organization member I have invited this international body to share their views on how the actions of the government has shaped the disappearance of Aboriginal women in Canada. I have also engaged the leader in a series of questions allowing opinions of how the federal government of Canada should address the public inquiries, and how to prevent the further disappearances of Aboriginal women. en_CA
