a few simple questions

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

            My name is Gladys Radek. I am a Human Rights activist and speak out for those who can not do so. I have been acting on behalf of the First Nations people here in Canada for many years. In 2000, I launched a Human Rights case and proved, for the first time ever in Canada, “Systemic Racism”. On July 13, 2005 I won a historical challenge to address “systemic racism” which is very prevalent in Canada. This experience, to me, was just a tip of the iceberg.

            About two months after winning my case, another issue was brought to my attention from my family in Northern BC. My niece, Tamara Chipman, went missing and seems to just disappear off the face of this earth. Tamara was 22 when she went missing; she is my brother’s only daughter and she also left behind a two and a half year old boy. I was raised in northern BC and knew about the many other First Nations women who have disappeared and been found murdered over the last, at least, four decades. Some were related to me.
