Cambria Harris’s mother is one of 10 Indigenous women killed in Winnipeg this year – and she is focusing her grief into a mission to bring them home
on 1 December, police in Winnipeg have highlighted the challenging nature of the investigation, which spans two landfills around the city: the Brady landfill, where the remains of Rebecca Contois were found and the Prairie Green landfill, where investigators believe Harris and Marcedes Myran, 26, are buried. But police who are also, do not have the resources to search the refuse at the Prairie Green facility, much of which is buried under tonnes of clay.
They were given a private meeting with prime minister Justin Trudeau, who hugged them and promised his government would do “everything we can” to help.But Harris insisted that words alone are not enough.When the sisters returned to Winnipeg, they redoubled their efforts. They called on the police chief to resign. They demanded a search of the landfill – no matter the cost.
Despite bitter winter weather, a group known as the First Nations Indigenous Warriors has set up a protest camp outside the Brady landfill, temporarily shutting down the facility to keep up pressure on local officials. Community members have donated food, water, wood and propane as nighttime temperatures approach -25F.
