“Half of the country doesn’t know about the Highway of Tears,” explained Mary Modeste, a member of the Khast’an Drummers.

“You shouldn’t be hitchhiking. Nowadays it is not safe. If you get picked up you could potentially get hurt or go up to heaven.”

The group is getting plenty of support from the community as a large crowd turned up for the stand in.

“By doing this campaign by grassroots. By going to local businesses and local organizations is that I learned really quick that this amazing community does support this whole heartedly because a lot of them know someone who has been affected or have had family members who have been taken,” shared Meise.

The event was capped off at Lheidli T’enneh Memorial Park’s Pavilion where community members hung their red dresses from trees to showcase their loved ones who are gone but will never be forgotten.
