Abstract
Background: In 2019, the Final Report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG2S+) was released by the Government of Canada, along with 231 Calls for Justice aimed at putting an end to the horrific violence against Indigenous women, girls, and 2S LGBTQQIA+ people.
Purpose: The purpose of this scoping review was to examine scholarly articles that have been published in response to the MMIWG2S+ report/Calls for Justice and responses that are presented on higher education websites in Canada.
Method: We searched key databases and online sites for relevant sources and screened texts to confirm eligibility. We included 63 scholarly articles and 94 online sources. We conducted content analysis and an analytical synthesis on the data from the academic articles. The online sources were analyzed with content analysis. The responses to the MMIWG2S+ report were categorized into six themes: illuminating report findings for readers; we must act and this is how; discourses about genocide; seeing the bigger picture; a guiding framework for research and practice; and critique of the report and challenges.
Results: Reactions to the calls within the higher education sector have been slow and incomplete. Responses are still in their infancy and need to move from discussion to action. Our findings are timely as they hold academics and educators to account through shedding light on the current discussions and (in)actions surrounding the MMIWG2S+ report within higher education.
Conclusion: We advocate for Canadian higher education institutions to prioritize the MMIWG2S+ crisis and involve Indigenous organizations and people in their efforts to respond to the report.

Résumé
Contexte : En 2019, le gouvernement du Canada a rendu public le Rapport final de l’Enquête nationale sur les femmes et les filles autochtones disparues et assassinées (FFADA2E+), accompagné de 231 appels à la justice visant à mettre fin à la violence effroyable envers les femmes, les filles et les personnes 2ELGBTQQIA+ autochtones.
Objectif : Cette revue de la portée avait pour objectif d’examiner les articles scientifiques publiés en réponse au rapport et aux appels à la justice de la FFADA2E+, ainsi que les réponses présentées sur les sites web des établissements d’enseignement supérieur au Canada.
Méthode : Nous avons effectué des recherches dans des bases de données clés et sur des sites en ligne afin de repérer des sources pertinentes, puis nous avons examiné les textes pour confirmer leur admissibilité. Nous avons inclus 63 articles scientifiques et 94 sources en ligne. Nous avons réalisé une analyse de contenu et une synthèse analytique des données provenant des articles universitaires. Les sources en ligne ont été analysées au moyen d’une analyse de contenu. Les réponses au rapport de la FFADA2E+ ont été regroupées en six thèmes : mettre en lumière les conclusions du rapport pour les lectrices et lecteurs ; il faut agir et voici comment ; discours sur le génocide ; comprendre la situation dans son ensemble ; un cadre d’orientation pour la recherche et la pratique ; et critique du rapport et défis.
Résultats : Les réactions du secteur de l’enseignement supérieur aux appels ont été lentes et incomplètes. Les réponses en sont encore à leurs débuts et doivent évoluer des discussions vers l’action. Nos résultats sont particulièrement opportuns, car ils contribuent à responsabiliser les universitaires ainsi que les membres du personnel enseignant en mettant en lumière les discussions actuelles et les (in)actions en enseignement supérieur entourant le rapport de la FFADA2E+.
Conclusion : Nous préconisons que les établissements d’enseignement supérieur au Canada accordent une priorité à la crise FFADA2E+ et qu’ils impliquent les organismes et les personnes autochtones dans leurs démarches pour répondre au rapport.
