Protesters showed no signs of backing down after a court-ordered injunction was served on the camp Friday evening, compelling them to clear the roadway leading to the Brady landfill main entrance.
External supporters of the blockade have supplied food and water to the people at Camp Morgan, but some are asking for more moral aid.
Wearing a dress adorned with red broken hearts to commemorate missing and murdered Indigenous men and boys, Tracy Fiddler called those who support the red dress movement to the front lines.
“I’ve walked alone since carrying this dress. I’m here today at the Brady landfill wondering where my sisters are,” she said from the blockade Saturday morning. “You claim you support what’s going on…where are you?”
Fiddler sewed the dress to remember a group she says is forgotten, tossed to the wayside in favour of remembering women and girls who have gone missing.
The protester said she’s waiting for her sisters in red to join her at the landfill.
“Come help me,” Fiddler said.
