TO GO WITH AFP STORY by Marion THIBAUT, "'We are not trash': Horrors suffered by Canada's Indigenous women"
Hilda Anderson-Pyrz, chair of the National Family and Survivors Circle, poses at the entrance of the Prairie Green landfill, where the bodies of Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran are believed to be buried, in Stony Mountain, Manitoba, Canada, on April 28, 2024. A mountain of windswept garbage. Beneath it, bodies. For years, the remains of Indigenous women discarded by suspected serial killer Jeremy Skibick, have languished in Prairie Green, with police saying they believe their remains are buried deep inside the landfill.. "Canada is looked at as a country that upholds rights," said Anderson-Pyrz, an activist who has championed the cause of Indigenous women for years. But when "we're being disposed of like garbage in landfills, that clearly says something is very wrong in this country." (Photo by Sebastien ST-JEAN / AFP)
