The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs is expected to discuss the next steps in an effort to search a landfill north of Winnipeg for the remains of two Indigenous women.
The group has called a news conference today following the federal government's commitment of $500,000 for a feasibility study on the proposed search.
The two women are among four alleged victims of Jeremy Skibicki, who has been charged with first-degree murder. After public pressure, an Indigenous-led committee was put together to examine the possibility of a search in conjunction with forensics experts.
