Iskweu Project
Indigenous program
The Iskweu Project wishes to respond to an immediate need for assistance expressed by families and loved ones in cases where an Indigenous woman or girl (trans, two -spirit) goes missing.
Our aim is reducing and ultimately eradicating the number of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls (trans, two-spirit) in Quebec; to offer support and ensure adequate response from institutions when someone goes missing. As part of this work, we also support Indigenous women, girls, trans, and 2-Spirit people who are facing violence and who may be at risk of going missing or being murdered. We seek to reduce barriers in accessing support and receiving an adequate response from institutions that have historically discriminated against Indigenous peoples.

The INDex was created to support First Nations, Inuit and Métis in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal in finding relevant and up-to-date information on services that were created specifically for them. Our goal is to promote cultural safety and community connectedness.
If you are an Indigenous person living, moving to or visiting Tiohtià:ke, the INDex can support you in your steps!
