The study included reviews of law enforcement documents as well as community hearings and testimonies.
The final report of the inquiry concluded that the high level of violence directed at FNIM women and girls is "caused by state actions and inactions rooted in colonialism and colonial ideologies." It also concluded that the crisis constituted an ongoing "race, identity and gender-based genocide."
At the beginning of the inquiry, the proceedings were called the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW). By the time the report was published, the crisis was also being called Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) and Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives (MMIR).
