TO GO WITH AFP STORY by Marion THIBAUT, "'We are not trash': Horrors suffered by Canada's Indigenous women"
Donna Bartlett, member of the Long Plains First Nation, holds a flower vase with a portrait of her slained granddaughter Marcedes Myran, in her home, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, on April 29, 2024. Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran were raped, killed, dismembered and buried in Prairie Green landfill in Winnipeg by suspected serial killer Jeremy Skibickand, with police saying they believe their remains are buried deep inside the landfill. The case is just the latest chapter in a long history of violence against Canada's Indigenous women. Myran's children do not understand why she is in a landfill, admits their great-grandmother, who is raising them by herself in her small, cluttered house in an outlying neighborhood of Winnipeg. Marcedes was a kind, happy girl who loved to play jokes, Bartlett recalls. (Photo by Sebastien ST-JEAN / AFP)
