Betty
Betty: The Helen Betty Osborne Story | David Alexander Robertson
1 post
Helen Betty Osborne, known as Betty to her closest friends and family, dreamed of becoming a teacher. She left home to attend residential school and later moved to The Pas, Manitoba, to attend high school. On November 13, 1971, Betty was abducted and brutally murdered by four young men. Initially met with silence and indifference, her tragic murder resonates loudly today. Betty represents one of almost 1,200 Indigenous women in Canada who have been murdered or gone missing. This is her story.

I've completed my GoodReads challenge. 52 matches my book count last year. I read 8 graphic novels with crucial themes this year. Betty touches my heart the most because Betty wanted to be a teacher. The missing and murdered Indigenous women inquiry is losing hope. Canadian politicians should read stories to understand how systemic oppression is killing Indigenous women. #MMIW
