Six Nations holds Memorial Walk for murdered and missing

By Lisa Iesse Writer Children and men lead a march for the third annual MMIWGMB2S+ Valentine’s Day Memorial Walk in downtown Ohsweken. Community members from across Six Nations, Mississaugas of the Credit (MSFN) and surrounding areas gather for the annual march in honour of the Missing and Murdered. After the Thanksgiving Address children and men from the community sounded the call for change with women and Two-Spirit persons, singing a Warrior song. The streets swim with marchers dressed from head to toe in red and rainbow colors, in ribbon skirts, shirts and jackets. They move quickly from Ganohkwasra down Chiefswood Road to 4th Line, to the centre of Ohsweken, and into Veterans Park. In Veteran’s Memorial Park, the hands of community members continue to hold up framed photographs and images
