The monument is a safe space for families affected by the Highway of Tears to remember their loved ones
A monument dedicated to Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women, Girls and Two Spirit People now faces the Highway of Tears in Prince George.
Wilson-John’s sister Ramona went missing in 1994 in Smithers, B.C. and her body was discovered a year later in a wooded area by the Smithers airport but her case is still unsolved. In 2019, the PGRDS was provided with funding by the federal government under the department for women and gender equality with the endorsement of Lheidli T’enneh First Nation, to design and install a monument.
“That they will always be remembered that they were a part of Mother Earth and that they walked on this Earth.” She said having this monument overlooking Highway 16 will give families the opportunities to honour the lives of their loved ones and their legacy.
