Manufactured Death: A Story of MMIWG2S+ in Cabot Square
by Justice for Cabot Square MMIWG2S+
Since 2005, over a dozen Indigenous women have been murdered or found dead under suspicious circumstances in Montreal. Many of these deaths occurred under the veil of a broader pattern of violence, perpetrated by a serial predator. A man whose violence went unchecked for decades. Most of these deaths have occurred in the Cabot Square area of downtown Montreal, a historic gathering place for urban Indigenous people, which has since become a site of violence and exploitation of Indigenous women and girls."Manufactured Death: A Story of MMIWG2S+ in Montreal" is a podcast about the rampant violence and sexual exploitation of Indigenous women and children in the Cabot Square area of Montreal, spanning decades, and how the failure of police, community organizations, the media, and the city itself to intervene lead to the deaths of countless Indigenous women.

April 19, 1983 Jane Doe
In our second episode, we start out by discussing a historic case of MMIWG2S+ in Montreal; an Inuk Jan Doe who has been unknown since 1983. This case, and the failure of police to adequately investigate this woman’s death has set a precedent for the neglect surrounding cases of MMIW2GS+ today. The historic MMIWG2S+ cases of Nellie Bobbish, Alacie Nowrakudluk, and Cynthia Kudjick are discussed, along with the cold cases of women involved in the sex trade in Montreal, including Doris Halfkenny Seale, Diane Thibault, Alice Cormier, Sharon Deslandes, Francine St. Hillaire, Chantal Sauriol, and Karen Margaret Lewis. We then discuss how the current impunity of murder and violence against Indigenous women and girls in Cabot Square is shaped by historic neglect of Indigenous women and women involved in the sex trade and facing sexual exploitation, of which women in Cabot Square occupy both.

A Forgotten Place
In our introductory episode, we begin our story by situating Cabot Square as a microcosm within Canada’s broader history and ongoing legacy of colonialism and white supremacy. Namely, we answer the question: how did Cabot Square come to be a gathering space for urban Indigenous people in Montreal? How was the site of resistance coopted by non-Indigenous people and turned into a site of violence and exploitation? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
