Sick to my stomach: Mikmaw woman speaks out after alleged comments in group chat [Video]

WARNING: This story contains disturbing details. Discretion is advised.

Members of Millbrook First Nation in Nova Scotia are in shock and two band councillors have resigned after alleged comments made in a group chat were made public.

The chat, which included almost a dozen men in the community, targeted women in the community and appeared to condone sexual assault in several cases.

Among the women mentioned in the private online group is Tia Googoo, who told Global News she found the whole situation “degrading.”

“I wanted to get sick to my stomach. I wanted to scream. I wanted it to go in frenzy mode, but I knew that wouldn’t help anything,” she said.

“It hurt for all the women they talked about, for my mother, for myself.”

Global News hasn’t independently verified the group’s contents or the identities of the people involved, but reviewed screen captures taken by Googoo.

The screen captures include sexually explicit and derogatory messages.
