BREAKING: After 2+ years of heartbreak and relentless advocacy, Morgan Beatrice Harris is finally coming home. 💔

As a journalist who’s covered this story from the start, I’m typing through tears. Authorities have confirmed what Morgan’s daughters fought so desperately for – their mother has been found at Prairie Green landfill.

I’ve watched Cambria and Elle Harris stand before microphones, petition officials, and organize searches when nobody would listen. On February 26th, what seemed impossible happened – Morgan was found.

Morgan, from Long Plain First Nation, was murdered by a White Supremacist serial killer in 2022. When authorities refused to search the landfill citing “feasibility issues,” her daughters refused to accept it, rallying a movement that forced Canada to acknowledge their mother’s life mattered.

I’ve stood in the cold interviewing these brave young women, witnessing elders sing while the family held photos of Morgan. I’ve seen their outrage when officials called a search “too difficult” and their persistence that moved mountains – and literal tons of garbage – to bring her home.

Today brings both grief and gratitude. Grief for Morgan and her family’s unbearable journey. Gratitude that their love proved stronger than systemic indifference.

Morgan’s remains are one of two sets recovered. The second may belong to Marcedes Myran, another victim from Long Plain First Nation.

To Morgan’s family: Thank you for teaching us what true love looks like. Thank you for showing Canada that every Indigenous woman deserves to be searched for and found.

The work continues. But tonight, Morgan Beatrice Harris is coming home.

[YWCA Edmonton @YWCAEdmonton]

In February, leadership, Elders, and Knowledge Keepers from both organizations came together to begin this partnership in a good way, grounding the work in respect, cultural understanding, and shared purpose.

[YWCA Edmonton @YWCAEdmonton]

By combining our strengths, we’re not only supporting women directly but also equipping those who work alongside them with the tools and knowledge needed to provide compassionate, effective care.

[YWCA Edmonton @YWCAEdmonton]

Together, we’re creating stronger, healthier communities where Indigenous women have the resources and support they need to thrive.

[YWCA Edmonton @YWCAEdmonton]

Through individual and group services, women can access care that honours their identities and experiences, fostering healing in a way that feels safe and meaningful.

[YWCA Edmonton @YWCAEdmonton]

This initiative offers trauma-informed, culturally relevant mental health support to help Indigenous women navigate these challenges, build resilience, and reclaim their sense of empowerment.

[YWCA Edmonton @YWCAEdmonton]

The impacts of violence go beyond the immediate, often creating cycles of trauma, poverty, and systemic inequality that affect generations.

[YWCA Edmonton @YWCAEdmonton]

Starting today, the Institute for the Advancement of Aboriginal Women and YWCA Edmonton are partnering to provide culturally grounded mental health support for Indigenous women and their families.
