- september 30th, national day for truth and reconciliation -

Survivors experienced horrific atrocities while prisoners in these institutions. It is important that this image show the love and strength that colonialism tried to steal from us. Despite genocide, we are still here – still fighting for justice and restitution, as true Warriors. - Dorene Bernard, Mi’kmaq Survivor who attended Shubenacadie Residential School

I don’t usually post anything outside of bomens, but it’s important I use my voice to honour my missing sisters, ancestors, cousins, and ndn people alike

It’s red dress day in Canada, a day to bring forward and acknowledge our missing and murdered indigenous women, girls, and 2sp+.

Today is important to me, and it’s important to bring awareness <3

Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women in Canada

Suppose you are an Indigenous woman or girl in Canada. In that case, whether you live on reserve or in an urban area, regardless of your age or socio-economic status—the simple fact that you are an Indigenous woman or girl means that you are at least three times more likely to experience violence and at least six times more likely to be murdered than any other woman or girl in Canada.

Why are the rates of violence so high?

1. Racist and sexist stereotypes lead perpetrators to believe that they can get away with committing acts of violence against Indigenous women and girls.

2. The many legacies of colonialism increase the risk of experiencing violence—from impoverishment to the lasting harm from residential schools to the disempowerment of Indigenous women and girls in their own communities.

3. Decades of government and law enforcement inaction to end the violence.

Still no updates on Autumn Shaganash's whereabouts. Police are offering a 50,000 reward for any information that can help locate her. The link takes you to an msn article from around a week ago that you can read for more information.

Hey have you heard about the police world games and Indigenous protest in Manitoba? Idk if this is weird or depressing to send but it seems like the kind of news and issues you speak about a lot. Basically the Canadian government spent millions on the police holding sport events for each other instead of searching for Indigenous women in landfills even though they themselves believe them to be there.

It is depressing, every time I think of them being in a fucking landfill I am filled with rage.

I haven't really shared anything about it because I genuinely am so enraged by the entire thing. They're in the trash and the Canadian government is genuinely going "good" which is just not even a metaphor or anything, like that's literally how they Really feel about first nations ppl.

More voices are joining the increasing calls to search the Prairie Green Landfill for the bodies of two Indigenous women believed to be buried there. Members of the Union of Taxation Employees marched in solidarity with the families, friends, and allies of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. The union, representing more than 35,000 Canada Revenue Agency employees across the country, is holding a national convention in Winnipeg this week. On Thursday afternoon, members joined dozens of others from the community in a march from the Fairmont Hotel to the Canadian Museum for Human Rights.

Members of the Union of Taxation Employees marched in solidarity with the families, friends, and allies of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. The union, representing more than 35,000 Canada Revenue Agency employees across the country, is holding a national convention in Winnipeg this week. On Thursday afternoon, members joined dozens of others from the community in a march from the Fairmont Hotel to the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. "We decided to come here to strongly condemn the inaction of the City of Winnipeg, the police department, the Province of Manitoba, and the federal government," said Marc Brière, president of the Union of Taxation Employees. "Their refusal to search the Prairie Green Landfill is totally unacceptable." Brière spoke in front of a large crowd at the museum, with more people joining the chorus of voices asking for the landfill to be searched. "I'm asking you, if it would be three white women, if it were three white privileged males like myself, would they be searching the landfill?" he asked the crowd. "I think the chances would be greater." The remains of Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran are believed to be in the landfill. Myran's sister Jordan was among the family members who spoke at the rally. "I'd like to thank everyone who showed up today," she said. "And everyone that has showed up time and time again, for every protest and rally that we've put on." Brière said the entire Union of Taxation Employees supports the search. "We are here with you. We ask the municipality of Winnipeg, the police department, especially the premier of Manitoba…to get going and search the landfill," he said. "And the federal government to put the money on the table, to help out and get this done."

“The National Crime Information Center reports that, in 2016, there were 5,712 reports of missing American Indian and Alaska Native women and girls, though the US Department of Justice’s federal missing persons database, NamUs, only logged 116 cases.”

As a settler-colonialist nation, the United States has committed genocide against Indigenous peoples since its founding. Even before the United States was an official nation, colonizers (generally from Europe) began to wipe out Indigenous populations because of prejudices and greed for monetary gain, as well as the possession of native land. The lack of engagement from the government to help find these women, and to fight for these women, is just another way colonization has continued into the 21st Century.

Today is May 5th, Red dress day. Red Dress Day honours the memories of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls across Canada. Métis artist Jaime Black helped inspire the red dress movement, where red dresses are hung from windows and trees to represent the pain and loss felt by loved ones and survivors. Remember and Honour all of the Native Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two spirits that have gone missing and have been murdered. Most of these cases are never heard in the public and they are sadly forgotten. But everyday is a good day to spread awareness for all Indigenous people, I want to share my culture and help others understand the importance of sharing stories from these victims.

Here are some links for information and indigenous accounts to support,

Autumn Shaganash went missing on June 9 and hasn't been seen since. There has been very little progress on her case and her family has been appealing to the public to help bring her home. I'm posting a couple more of the more recent articles I was able to find, and her family is asking for anyone with information to contact Lili-Anne Moore on Facebook or to contact Barrie police.
