Twenty-seven cards telling the stories of 27 lives. They’re all from Newfoundland and Labrador and all Indigenous. They’re all missing or murdered women and girls.

Qalipu First Nation is holding a ceremony to remember those women and girls in Corner Brook.

The Corner Brook event will have smudging, poster-making, drumming and songs.

Most of all, it will honour and remember women and girls from this province who were murdered or are missing.

The event is called “Say Their Name.” Small cards were created to tell the story of each woman or girl. They are meant to put a face on the tragedy of loss, as well as pay tribute.
