725. –
December 74, Highway 16
Walking home from school, only 14
Taking a ride, in a couple confide
Found near Terrace, strangled and tiedEight days pass, in Feb 06
Tabor Mountain, found in a ditch
After the mall, she’d stayed with a friend
Took a lift home, found condemnedIf I knew I’d never, see you again
I would of held you tighter
I would have said
If I knew I’d never, see you again
But I thought we had,
Forever725 where they paid the cost
Where they didn’t arrive, where they were lost
725 where families despair
They didn’t survive, we didn’t care
725725, a triple delete
Their ignorance and deceitAugust 18, on the Highway of Tears
Another young life, disappears
Another victim, to show the shame
Shadows taken, another claimedIf I knew I’d never, see you again
I would of held you tighter
I would have said
If I knew I’d never, see you again
But I thought we had,
Forever725 where they paid the cost
Where they didn’t arrive, where they were lost
725 where families despair
They didn’t survive, we didn’t care
725725, a red dress flies
Another indigenous families cries
725725, a red dress flies
another girl missing, another dies -

You must have watched Alaska Daily before composing. Played along in Dm pentatonic.

Well done! Thanks! I have a friend here in Arizona who is part Ottawa, and works on different reservation areas here at times. She often has talked about the many missing indigenous women both there and here in AZ.

I did a bit of background research on the missing/murdered women, it’s a real sad state of affairs in both the US and Canada… 🙁
Thank you Phil… 🙏

Very haunting @Fletch . Such a sad state – I had seen something about this a while back. Scary and terribly sad. Nicely written and performed. Maybe it will bring awareness to others.
