Rallies across Canada demand landfill search for slain Indigenous women
Calls to search a Winnipeg-area landfill for the remains of two First Nations women are ramping up as rallies take place across the country.
“Search the landfill! Bring our women home!” people chanted as red paint was poured onto the pavement before the traditional dance. About 100 people then marched to the legislature. Families of the women and supporters are calling on the premier to reconsider and for the city, the province and the federal government to work together to come up with a solution.
Former Crown-Indigenous Relations minister Marc Miller criticized the province for shirking responsibilities because it’s responsible for landfills, while Stefanson accused Miller of politicizing a tragedy.
