While a landfill search for a woman in Saskatoon moves forward, a search of a Manitoban landfill for three Indigenous women has yet to be given a timeline.
Ahead of Red Dress Day on Sunday, a time meant to raise awareness about Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, frustration is boiling over with the lack of a timeline surrounding a landfill search for human remains. Global's Daisy Woelk reports.
“It was a very hard journey to get to where we are today, and to be able to see how another province is doing — basically — the same work that we wanted to do from the get-go is kind of disheartening.”“It leaves me feeling incredibly disheartened and frustrated,” she said. “It’s telling Indigenous women that they are less than worth looking for. It’s telling serial killers that it’s OK to dispose of women’s bodies in the landfill, and that nobody will search for them.
“Colonialism, both of the past and of the present, racism, patriarchy, sexism have come together to produce a context where Indigenous women, girls and two-spirited people, have found themselves disproportionately coming to harm,” Perry said.
