A Rally in tribute to 4 Slain Indigenous Women
Written by Jeremy Zafran on 14 December 2022
A rally is being organized in downtown Montreal this weekend to honour the lives of 4 Indigenous women who were killed in Winnipeg. They will honour the lives of the Marcedes Myran, Morgan Harris, Rebecca Contois, and Mashkode Bizhiki. The Winnipeg police say they will not search the Prairie Green landfill, where 2 of the women’s bodies are believed to be. Nakuset is the Executive Director of the Native Women’s Shelter of Montreal:
“I just find it really hard for the family members, for the community, the reluctance of the police to do something and it doesn’t really feel like we’re moving forward. So, I’m hoping that we’ll bring people together, that we’ll have some speakers that we’re going to be confirming fairly soon and that people can share their voice and their concerns and send a message to Winnipeg that we are also upset.”
The rally, being organized by the Native Women’s Shelter of Montreal, will be held on Saturday, December 17th at 1pm in Cabot Square.
