Missing and Murdered Women and Girls and the media iconography surrounding Indigenous women that helps generate this crisis.

In Module 14 we have explored the issue of Missing and Murdered Women and Girls and the media iconography surrounding Indigenous women that helps generate this crisis. For this week’s discussion board use what you learned from the lecture and our four brief readings to explain the dangers of media tropes, costumes, and appropriation to an uniformed reader. Are media images/costumes neutral? Do they tell a story? If so what story? and how do those stories lead to real world outcomes?
