“With the unfolding of the residential schools, the little souls that were taken. They weren’t missing, they were taken. And it pains me that it has taken almost 150 years for things to come to light, but I believe that through these visuals that we continue to weigh the conscience of perpetrators. This is about justice. This is about equality. And change is happening,” said Bear, who is a member of the Ochapowace First Nation in the province. “A lot of our women have been at this for a long time and I know in recent years, the different tones from our police chiefs. The assistance that I get when someone is missing. There’s change. Change has been hard. We have the perpetrators out there. Whoever knows something, we plead with you to come forward and let your soul, your conscience to rest. The ones who are missed and murdered, they have families and they’re loved. They’re human beings, they’re not just numbers.”
