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. These deaths were not natural, but rather, through repeated and systemic neglect of Cabot Square and the Indigenous women who occupy this area, they were manufactured, socially constructed. In failing to do something, we all let this happen. In positioning Cabot Square as a “sore spot” of Montreal, this created a space where violence against Indigenous women and girls was and still is, permissible.



This podcast spans the history of the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, trans and 2-Spirit people (MMIWG2S+) in Montreal, and how Cabot Square has become the epicentre for this violence. Beyond just looking at individual cases, this story takes a more expansive look, situating the current crisis of MMIWG2S+ in Montreal within Canada’s broader system of colonialism and genocide.



This show is an urgent call to action in fighting for justice for these women, will you join us?

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.

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?
