Kawanita

With the statistics of missing murdered Indigenous women out there, I am saddened to know I became a part of those numbers.

Hello, my name is Kawanita. My son and I suffered abuse at the hands of my partner and my son’s biological father. I survived an attack that was so brutal it was meant to kill me—an attack where I was not only strangled in a drug-induced rage by this predator, but I was then beaten and kicked after I fought to get free for my life, for what very well could have been my last breath. I was then picked up and thrown across the room, sustaining many life-long injuries.

Today, I call on the one and only undefeated champion—our Creator—to be with me as I ask all tribes, all brothers, all sisters, aunties, uncles, mothers, and fathers to stand united with me. I stand with my self-governing board, IICFS (International Indigenous Children and Family Services), and ask to have my voice, our voices, heard.

We, the Indigenous, are the highest-ranked ethnicity to sustain domestic violence, rape, murder, and generational trauma to our families from such acts. We will be having this case heard in the courts of Alberta, Canada, where we will be requesting my case to be turned over to the Indigenous jurisdiction it belongs in, thus allowing our Indigenous rights to be upheld for all women, children, and the vulnerable moving forward.

We are fulfilling prophecy.
