Kinew will meet with families, leaders later this week: Long Plain chief
Manitoba’s new premier is set to meet with the families of two First Nations women whose remains are believed to be in the Prairie Green landfill, north of Winnipeg.
Long Plain First Nation Chief Kyra Wilson told CBC she will be attending the meeting scheduled for Thursday along with family members of Morgan Harris, Marcedes Myran and Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs Grand Chief Cathy Merrick.
Cambria Harris, the daughter of Morgan, one of the women believed to be in the landfill, said she learned about the meeting with Wab Kinew on Monday, after his office reached out to Long Plain First Nation.
Kinew was sworn is as premier last Wednesday.
“What went through my mind was that maybe, just maybe we might have a chance to bring my mother Morgan home,” said Harris.
