MMIWG families and advocates welcomed Krista Fox with drum, song and ceremony at MMIWG memorial pole located on Hwy 16 near Kitsumkalum, B.C.
Fox is a North Battleford, Sask. mother and grandmother who is preparing to walk 10,400 km from Victoria B.C., to St. John’s, Nfld. to raise awareness for murdered and missing Indigenous women and girls.
On Feb 5, she said she had an emotional journey from Prince to Terrace, B.C., partially walking the Highway of Tears, the notorious name given to Hwy 16 because of the high number of Indigenous people missing there since the 1970s.
In an interview with APTN News, Fox says she had a powerful experience walking with the family of Frances Brown, who went missing in 2017 near Smithers.
“It was an amazing experience, we walked and held arms, and we connected arms, and it was like I felt him, I felt his pain, he misses his mom so much,” she said.
