Volunteers spent hundreds of hours creating traditional skirts for Tuesday’s memorial march for missing Indigenous women.

After spending the last two weeks papering downtown Vancouver with missing person posters of Darius Smallboy, the young Indigenous man's family has just learned he was lying dead in a city morgue the entire time.

The B.C. Coroners Service told Postmedia that the cause of Darius Smallboys death remains under investigation.

A small group of volunteers has met in Edmonton each Saturday this month to fabricate red ribbon skirts for families of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. The project's organizers say the turnout has given them hope.
