What do we know about Mashkode Bizhiki'ikwe? Details still scarce as her alleged killer is in court
CBC
Just steps away from the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, red dresses blow in the wind.
They serve as a symbol of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls in Canada, including the four police allege were killed by Jeremy Skibicki.
The names of three of those four women are known: Morgan Harris, Marcedes Myran and Rebecca Contois.
But there's also an unidentified woman known as Mashkode Bizhiki'ikwe, or Buffalo Woman — a name given to her by the community.
"It saddens me for sure that she doesn't have a family out there advocating for her and fighting for her to come home, but me and my family have said her name plenty of times," said Marcedes Myran's sister Jorden Myran.
"We are fighting just as much to get her home as we're fighting to get my sister home."
CBC spoke with Jorden next to the museum, among the red dresses.
The area has been turned into a camp named for her sister. It's one of two built as reminders to search for the women. The other, Camp Morgan, has been situated near the Brady Road landfill since December.
The fight Jorden referred to is the nearly year-long battle by families, some First Nations leaders and advocates to get two Manitoba landfills searched for remains.
Police have said they believe the bodies of Myran and Harris are in the Prairie Green landfill, north of Winnipeg. But that landfill was never searched.
Partial remains of Contois were found at the Brady Road landfill in June 2022, weeks after some of her remains were discovered in North Kildonan.
If police have a theory about where Buffalo Woman's body is, they have not said so publicly. In fact, very few details about her have been made public.
That hasn't stopped George Robinson from trying to find out who she is.
Robinson, who is married to Morgan Harris's cousin, told CBC he has been taking part in community searches for missing people for years.
