Canada has vowed to set up an inquiry into the disappearances and murders of nearly 1,200 indigenous women and girls over the last three decades, a demand made by First Nations activists for years. Speaking Tuesday, newly elected Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he hoped the inquiry would help restore trust between the Canadian government and First Nations.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau “I know that renewing our relationship is an ambitious goal, but I am equally certain that it is one that we can and will achieve if we work together.”
