Totem on the highway of tears near Terrace, British Columbia, Canada, on April 30, 2024. The "Highway of Tears" in British Columbia is a stark monument, activists say, to the many ways Canada has failed Indigenous women. Since the 1960s, as many as 50 women -- and a few men -- have vanished along this 725-kilometer (450-mile) highway linking Prince Rupert, on the Pacific Coast near Alaska, to Prince George.
