Woman Survives In Wilderness For 12 Days After Sex Attack

Stephanie Beaverbones was found by an oilfield worker this week after surviving for 12 days in the wilderness of Alberta. She survived by eating berries and drinking river water. Her ordeal began when her car broke down. Two of her friends went for help while Stephanie and a man she barely knew stayed with the car. That is when he made his move. She ran for it and during her escape broke her jaw and suffered a mild concussion, but kept right on going. She ran and ran and then realized she was lost and had no idea how to get back to the road or anywhere else. Police have charged her attacker with aggravated assault and sexual assault.

    This is fucked and her parents really should've changed their surname before having kids

    Her name is irrelevant unless you're 6 years old.

    Good for her.

    I'm from Edmonton, Alberta and this is a fairly typical Aboriginal surname. They often involve animals or aspects of nature. I think it's cool.

    Good for her. I hope she's able to see her attacker go to prison for a good long time.

    I assume she's First Nation. I have cousins whose last name is Horsebackrider.

    I can't imagine the whole 'wandering around with a broken jaw for 12 days' thing. She must have had to swallow those berries whole. That's a strong person.

    I'm interested to see what happens to him as well, Ruby.

    I had a horrible surname and suffered a LOT of teasing about it. Good thing I didn't have a stick in my ass about it. I'm sure this chick doesn't, because she seems pretty damn awesome. I couldn't survive 12 hours in the wilderness.

    @Angie, I'm not sure if you're implying I do, and I'm not assuming you do (benefit of doubt), but to make it clear: I don't have a stick up my ass about my name. I just think focusing on her name when she's been through this kind of hell is pretty disrespectful and immature, as well as disrespectful of her heritage. (And she does sound super badass & is deserving of respect.)

    I know, I know, "it's just a gossip site"... :-/

      I agree with you. A time and place, people. This young woman is a hero to women everywhere. Fight, run, be brave, survive, keep calm, and look for help. She knew how to do all of these things, and she trusted in that knowledge to save her. She is a very intelligent young woman to rely on these skills.
      I like her name. It's strong and proud. Just like her heritage and of course her family. Those qualities don't just leave a person, they're always within The People's souls, hearts, and minds. It's who they are.

    Open casting call this afternoon for the Lifetime Movie about this. Production starts Monday morning.

    Talking about unfortunate last names, Olivia Wilde took Oscar Wilde's last name as a stage name because her family name is Cockburn. They pronounce it Coburn, but it still reads like a painful episode of sex.

    Traditionally, First Nations peoples did not have surnames; we had clan names.

    When the Colonialists arrived, they couldn't work with that system. So they asked some people what they would like to be called, or just made up surnames to give to some people.

    Today, some of those names 'sound cool'. Other of those names show the racial divide.

    Other First Nation Last names:
    Canada
    Flatfish
    Donkey
    Deerchild
    Greyeyes
    Longclaws

    Just a small sampling.

    She got extremely lucky to pick berries that weren't poisonous. She had to of passed out from the pain a few times. What a horrible ordeal. This woman kicks major ass!

    I had jokes made about my maiden name here and there. I never found it offensive. Basically I would hear the same repeated jokes from different people. More than anything, I would get a bit annoyed that no one could could come up with something else to say.

  33. Northern Grrl11:37 AM

    Well @Pip, I won't ask you what your maiden name is, but I get it. It's just that sometimes I run across some very bizarre surnames, and you can tell that they were not bequeathed with kindness in mind. I'm sure they might laugh at their own surnames, too. I had an ex-boyfriend in highschool whose surname was one letter off from meaning sh*t in Italian. He liked to make jokes, but HATED it if anyone else ever did.

      Miss Mess, you ignorant slut. (SNL 70s reference)

      Am I to think that you are an expert on Northern Indigenous People? Because everything I wrote is basic, but true, and there was no discrimination or stereotyping, no offense made, nor intended. So, if you know more about: Athabascan (Dena), Athabascan (Yup'ik & Cup'ik), Inupiaq & Yupik, Aleut & Alutiiq, Eyak, Tlingit, Haida & Tsimshian, cultures than I do, and you very well may, or, if you are a member of one of these many proud tribes (which I highly doubt). That is the only excuse you have for that absurd comment regarding, stereotyping.
      Just tone it down a lot and keep the offenses to a minimum.
      Have a nice weekend.

    How terrible. I agree with @snapdragon. If this wasn't about sexual assault, say it was a surname in relation to Anthony Weiner, I'd see the humor, but a woman was assaulted and I can't find a way to laugh about that.

      Exactly. It's just not funny. 1st, it's her proud name passed down, the meaning is as important to them as it once was to James Mason (the town stone mason and his family of masons).
      2nd, and most importantly, she was attacked, fought him off, ran, survived, and found help. All of this takes knowledge that she was taught and she used. I know for fact, that staying calm is the most important key to survival. She was taught that as well, from her family. When you live a subsistence lifestyle, all of these skills are taught and taught, until it is second nature. One has to if they expect to survive on that land of extremes.

    The would be rapist broke her jaw. She did not know him well, but offering rides in such circumstances is not unusual in Northern Alberta.

    Sexual assault laws are contained within the federal Criminal Code, and prosecuted provincially. Yes, he will do some jail time, but nothing close to what most US sentences seem to be.
