We are raising funds to support a healing walk for Indigenous
Women incarcerated at the Pine Grove Correctional Centre in Prince
Albert Saskatchewan.
On January 3, 2024 23-year-old single mother and Indigenous
Woman Tatiana Custer was found unresponsive in a common area of the
jail; she was transported to hospital where was declared deceased.
On Febraury 1, 2024 an as-yet unamed women was also found
unconscious at the prison, she was transported to hospital where she
passed away one hour later. Two other women, Elaine Blehm and
Cassandra Ross also died at the prison over the last four years.
There have been several hunger strikes by the inmates over the
years due to overcrowding, tainted water and food. The most recent
was in November 2023 when inmates went on hunger strike claiming the
water causes rashes and boils. These issues continue to go
unaddressed as Indigenous women experience racism, misogyny, abuse
and death in the Canadian “Justice” system.
Indigenous Women will be leading a rally and healing walk
departing from Toronto and heading to Ottawa demanding justice for
these women from the Governor General, Attorney General, Saks.
Minister of Corrections, Sask. Attorney General and the Director of PGCC.
In order to make the rally and walk a success we are humbly
asking for you support. We will need to being speakers, drummers and
dancers from across Turtle Island and they will require flights,
food and accommodation in addition to support during the walk.
Indigenous Women make up 40% of Canada’s prison population while
only accounting for 5% of the total population. We will raise our
voices and hold the Canadian Government accountable for it’s decades
of abuse of our Sisters.
