Women Walking Together marks 10th anniversary with tribute to Karina Wolfe
Iskwewuk E-wichiwitochik (Women Walking Together) are sending their thoughts to the family of Karina Wolfe as they mark a decade of advocating on behalf of missing and murdered aboriginal women.
Tissue boxes lined the tables at the White Buffalo Youth Lodge as just over two dozen people gathered to honour the women’s memories with a pipe ceremony, songs, panel speeches and a feast.
The discovery of Wolfe’s body just two days prior added weight to the already somber anniversary and prompted organizers to revise the ceremony to honour her.
The 20-year-old went missing in 2010. A 33-year-old man is charged with second degree murder and indignity to human remains in relation to Wolfe’s death, and will make his first court appearance Monday.
