The disconnect can’t be more stark.
During the vigil for Eishia Hudson Thursday the 16-year-old Indigenous girl shot by a Winnipeg police officer one year ago attendees released gold balloons that spelled murdered and missing.
Marked with red handprints across their faces the symbol of murdered and missing Indigenous women and girls activists carried signs announcing: Winnipeg police killed my sister, Not another Indigenous life… stop killing and Justice for Eishia.
