BIRCH ISLAND—On Friday, September 26, the doors of the Shawanosowe School opened and the children spilled out onto the grounds, ready to march. Grades 5 and 6 were assigned as helpers to assist the teachers with the Kindergarten and Grade 1 students. Danette McGregor played her hand drum and sang as the line of marchers made their way down along the back road and out past the band office to where the monument stood on Highway 6, dedicated to Misssing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.
