The remains of two Indigenous women, Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myra, are believed to be in the Prairie Green landfill just north of Winnipeg.
This decision prompted protests and public outcry, as well as a blockade at the Brady Road landfill south of Winnipeg, which lasted nearly two weeks.
Wab Kinew, leader of the Manitoba NDP, pledged to search the landfills if his party forms government in October. “We’re not going anywhere, we’re here to get louder and make sure our voices are heard,” said Melissa Robinson, a cousin to Morgan Harris, outside the Manitoba legislature on Aug. 3.Deborah Gopher, one of the organizers of the march, said Indigenous women deserve to feel safe in their communities, calling the situation in Winnipeg a “national tragedy.” The march was organized to stand in solidarity with those at Camp Morgan, she said.
“Search the landfills,” Gopher told Global News. “We want to matter. We want to be safe. We don’t want to be dumped like trash. We want our cases to be investigated. We want to stop the killings of our people.”Gopher said a lot of other cities have shown their support for Camp Morgan and landfills all over Canada should be searched for missing and murdered Indigenous people. Hundreds of people gathered in front of Vancouver Art Gallery on Aug.
