Long Plain First Nation Chief says police are sending the message ‘Indigenous women don’t matter’ by refusing to search a landfill for the remains of two women
Indigenous leaders in Manitoba are calling on Winnipeg’s police chief to resign, after he refused to search a landfill for the remains of two women believed to be victims of an alleged serial killer.
Winnipeg Police Service investigators believe the remains of Morgan Harris, 39, and Marcedes Myran, 24, who were both members of Long Plain First Nation, are at the Prairie Green landfill, located north of the city. But the service’s spokespeople have told reporters that too much time has passed for the remains to be recoverable and that the site, a four-acre facility owned by Waste Connections of Canada, would be too complicated and dangerous to search.
Winnipeg police did not respond to requests for comment Thursday. Neither did Waste Connections of Canada.
