The Walking Dead

In our fifth episode of "Manufactured Death”, we explore a series of seven suspicious deaths of Indigenous women which occurred between January 2023 to July 2024. We look at how government closures of safe consumption sites and systemic apathy to the opioid and toxic drug supply provides the perfect guise to get away with murder of Indigenous women, including several examples of this. The death of Alasie Tukkiapik is discussed as part of this string of deaths, along with yet another hanging death. These deaths, and the lack of response to them, is situated within Achilles Mbembe’s concept of “necropolitics”, and the historic use of the “No Human Involved” classification of sex trade femicides.
