BREAKING: After 2+ years of heartbreak and relentless advocacy, Morgan Beatrice Harris is finally coming home. 💔 As a journalist who’s covered this story from the start, I’m typing through tears. Authorities have confirmed what Morgan’s daughters fought so desperately for – their mother has been found at Prairie Green landfill. I’ve watched Cambria and Elle Harris stand before microphones, petition officials, and organize searches when nobody would listen. On February 26th, what seemed impossible happened – Morgan was found. Morgan, from Long Plain First Nation, was murdered by a White Supremacist serial killer in 2022. When authorities refused to search the landfill citing “feasibility issues,” her daughters refused to accept it, rallying a movement that forced Canada to acknowledge their mother’s life mattered. I’ve stood in the cold interviewing these brave young women, witnessing elders sing while the family held photos of Morgan. I’ve seen their outrage when officials called a search “too difficult” and their persistence that moved mountains – and literal tons of garbage – to bring her home. Today brings both grief and gratitude. Grief for Morgan and her family’s unbearable journey. Gratitude that their love proved stronger than systemic indifference. Morgan’s remains are one of two sets recovered. The second may belong to Marcedes Myran, another victim from Long Plain First Nation. To Morgan’s family: Thank you for teaching us what true love looks like. Thank you for showing Canada that every Indigenous woman deserves to be searched for and found. The work continues. But tonight, Morgan Beatrice Harris is coming home. #MMIWG #JusticeForMorgan #BringThemHome

Premier Doug Ford might want to take some direction from BC and the Haida Nation on what respectful relationships look like. When Canada gets bullied by Trump, don’t turn around and bully First Nations by threatening to move in and take critical minerals. theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…
