Every year on October 4, people gather at vigils across the country to remember Indigenous women — sisters, mothers, cousins, aunties and daughters — who’ve gone missing or who’ve been murdered. The Sisters in Spirit vigils are a national movement that encourages concerned individuals, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal, to gather and reflect and honour.
The vigils have grown over the course of their existence, from 11 back in 2006 to more than 200 events in 2014.
