and girls are three times more likely to e~perience violence than any oth- er population in Canada, according to Statistics Canada. And according to Amnesty International, Indigenous women are five to seven times more likely to die from these acts of violence. What does John Fox know about his daughter's last day? According to the police report, he knows that the owner of the con- do where Cheyenne fell from is a male. He knows that his daughter was lured into the sex trade just weeks prior to her death. He knows that the condo owner was a 'John' and had brought Fox to his place for sexual services.

Yet the police are treating the condo owner as a victim because he told police that he tried to save Cheyenne from jumping off the balcony. Also, po- lice will not release his name nor his address to the Fox family who are Anishinabe and very spir- itual. They have been un- able to give Cheyenne a spirit ceremony, which is traditionally held in the location where the loved one died. And Toronto Police are denying Chey- enne's family that right. John Fox recalled that police knocked on his door tbe day after his daughter died and informed him that Cheyenne had fallen at 10:30 the night before and by 8am, her death was ruled a suicide. The only witness was the 'John' whose condo she was in. Fox explained that it took months of rallying against the Toronto Police before they finally started an investigation into his daughter's death and if it wasn't for the support of the First Nations commu- nity in Toronto and their allies, her death would still be ruled a suicide. A gathering will be held this Friday, February 14 starting at 12:30pm at Toronto Police Headquar- ters (40 College Street), which is hosted by No More Silence. It is for Ter- ra Gardner, Cheyenne Fox, Bella Laboucan-McLean along with the hundreds of other First Nations women and girls across Canada who have lost their lives to violence or gone missing.
