Since the end of August, six Indigenous people across Canada have lost their lives in events involving the RCMP – in just 11 days.

On Wednesday night, a vigil was held in downtown Montreal, to honour their lives and highlight the urgency to put a stop to the violence.

“I really want awareness. I want the RCMP to know that it’s not open season on Indigenous people, that they need to stop doing this. I want the families of those that were murdered to know that, Montreal, we hear you, we see you, we’re here for you. And I want the community to come and to mourn,” said Na’kuset, executive director of the Native Women’s Shelter of Montreal.
