'We are not trash': Horrors suffered by Canada's Indigenous women

PRINCE RUPERT, British Columbia, Canada — A mountain of windswept garbage. Beneath it, bodies. For years, the remains discarded by a serial killer have languished in a landfill — the latest chapter in a long history of violence against Canada's Indigenous women.Morgan Harris and Marcedes Myran were raped, killed, dismembered and thrown out with the trash in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Police believe their remains are buried deep inside the Prairie Green landfill.

Marcedes was a kind, happy girl who loved to play jokes, the 66-year-old recalls.She laments authorities' reluctance to search the landfill.'If were white, they would have done it right away,' she says.'Highway of Tears' Further west, in British Columbia, is a stretch of road hundreds of miles long known as the 'Highway of Tears' — a stark monument, activists say, to the many ways Canada has failed Indigenous women.
