Prayers for the family and Ashlee can finally rest.
It's only because of the families advocating and not giving up to demand a search of the landfill that she and the others were found.

NATIONAL RIBBON SKIRT DAY
Because of the courage of one little girl not standing for racism and shame, she changed law that January 4th will forever be known as National Women's Skirt Day 🙏💙

Hey @GlobalCalgary next year you might want to consider having an actual Indigenous veteran on the early morning news story explain the history of Indigenous veterans rather than a white male who actually shared WHITEWASHED INCORRECT INFORMATION!!

As we approach National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on Sept 30, you may see or hear comments like these on social media or during conversations.
The truth about residential schools is important for every Canadian to learn. Without truth, there can be no reconciliation.
NDP MP @LeahGazan tabled a private member’s bill to add residential school denialism to the Criminal Code of Canada. Here she is explaining the proposed law.
This Wednesday the Canadian Medical Association (CMA) will publicly apologize for its role, and the role of the medical profession, in the past and ongoing harms to First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples in the Canadian health system. The ceremony will be held on the traditional territory of the lək̓ wəŋiʔnəŋ speaking people of Songhees and Xwsepsum Nations. WATCH THIS Powerful film The Unforgotten produced by the CMA depicting racism experienced by Indigenous peoples at the link here:

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew says materials needed to search the Prairie Green Landfill will begin to move this month.
Kinew met this afternoon with families whose loved ones' remains are believed to be in the landfill north of Winnipeg.
👏👏 National Indigenous Peoples Month 👏👏
My mother getting released from the prison of Lebret residential school in her forced catholic clothes, to me fighting colonization most of my life, to my daughter proudly wearing her ribbon skirt with pride.
Remember the truths ‼️
Honoured to sit with fellow matriarchs on the Indigenous Women in Leadership panel today at the WIL Summit.
"Changing western leadership models to fit Indigenous people is vital if we are to see Indigenous natural born leaders in corporations."
One of the thoughts I shared today.
@WIL_Fdn
I am so excited my long time colleagues & friends ageed to sit on the panel with me for the Women in Leadership Summit ❤️
Together we have paved paths, challenged status quos, and lifted other Indigenous into their power, and held seats for them to share their voices!
My sister was dropped off in minis 40 winter weather outside of Calgary to "walk" back.
She died after falling down the times.
Ribbon skirts no matter who wears them in RCMP is not reconciliation.
This is far more common than anyone knows. RCMP left me on a highway in rural SK over 50 kms from my mom's home on Christmas day. No one was on the road and I almost died. I peeled the skin in full from giant blisters of freezing off of my hands and feet. 🪶💔😡 Ribbon skirts
