In Canada, Indigenous women continue their tireless fight for justice and closure as they confront a history of systemic violence and neglect. The tragic case of Morgan Harris and others brutally murdered and discarded in landfills highlights the ongoing crisis faced by Indigenous communities. Despite efforts to excavate and retrieve their remains, progress has been slow and fraught with challenges, including environmental hazards and bureaucratic delays.
Families like Harris’s have erected symbolic teepees and maintained vigil at the Prairie Green landfill, demanding empathy and recognition for their lost loved ones. Their campaign aims not just for the recovery of bodies but for a profound acknowledgment of Indigenous lives and the urgent need for systemic change in how Canada addresses violence against Indigenous women.
