Stories of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and two-spirited people are still running at an all-time high, despite the calls to action. The one-year anniversary of the death of Tristin Jobb just passed, and for her family and loved ones, it hasn’t gotten any easier.
Tristin was a sister, daughter, grand-daughter, who was loved unconditionally and seen as a young woman who was wise beyond her years.
“Tristin was amazing as a small child and very smart beyond her years,” said Tristin’s mother Val Charlette. “One of the ladies that worked at Aboriginal Head Start in Flin Flon, said Tristin was like an elder in a little child’s body.
