TORONTO -- Organizers of healing walks held in memory of Chantel Moore, an Indigenous woman killed by police during a wellness check last week, say Friday’s fatal police shooting of another Indigenous man underscores the need for healing within the community.
Martin was surrounded by a large crowd that walked the streets of Edmundston, N.B., in silence Saturday to honour the life of her daughter who died after she was shot by a police officer on June 4. Simultaneous walks were held in Vancouver, Fredericton, Halifax, Moncton, N.B. and Membertou, N.S.But for some, Saturday’s walks were marred by anger after the death of Rodney Levi, an Indigenous man killed by police on Friday night in Sunny Corner, N.B.
Imelda Perly, an elder who helped organize the event, says Levi’s death underscored the importance of the healing walks, signifying a need for change and healing within the Indigenous community.
