“It doesn't matter about gender. It doesn't matter about race. It’s to honour these people and their families for what they're going through,” she said

Bear encouraged people to bring candles to light in memory of loved ones.

She said it is especially important for young people to be aware of the violence aboriginal woman face in this country.
