Sisters in Spirit Virtual Vigil - Deb and Laney

Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women (MMIW) is a National Crisis and Genocide currently happening within Canada. In 2019, Reclaiming Power and Place: The Final Report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls was released. The National Inquiry’s Final Report reveals that persistent and deliberate human and Indigenous rights violations and abuses are the root cause behind Canada’s staggering rates of violence against Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA people.The two volume report calls for transformative legal and social changes to resolve the crisis that has devastated Indigenous communities across the country. It delivers 231 individual Calls for Justice directed at governments, institutions, social service providers, industries and all Canadians. Little action has been taken to implement these calls to action but we can not wait. Debbie share's the story of her sister Laney Ewenin who was murdered on a starlight tour in 1982. A starlight tour is when indigenous peoples are detained by police and driven outside city limits. They are released and forced to walk back home, often inappropriately dressed for external conditions. Debbie, and all the women in her family, continue to carry the fierce spirit of her sister, as the advocate for the safety of Indigenous Peoples across Canada.
