Activist Waabnong Kwe is on a mission to help bring dignity to hundreds of dead or missing native women.
The names of more than 360 such aboriginal women, including about 25 from Ontario, were read yesterday to a room full of teary eyes at the fifth annual memorial and feast by the No More Silence Coalition.
"In this country, aboriginal women die all the time and nobody cares," Kwe told a packed room at Oak Street Housing Co-op on Cornwall St. "They are treated as second class citizens."
In nearly all cases involving murdered aboriginal women there are no arrests, she said. Kwe and members of her group will be meeting with Toronto Police this week to try to have three cases they consider to be suspicious deaths reopened.

Prince George RCMP are asking for help in locating a missing 14 year old girl.
Brianna Kaye Frederick is 5'2" weighs 110 lbs, has short brown hair, brown eyes, and is of First Nations descent.
Brianna was last seen Friday at the Pine Centre Mall and in the north end of Gillette Street. She was reported missing yesterday morning.
Police say that at this time, there is nothing to suggest anything "untoward" in Brianna's disappearance (her description is similar to that of Aielah Saric-Auger).
A photo of Brianna is not yet available.

I hope this isn't another casualty on the Highway of Tears.

Melanie Dawn Geddes' family hopes some day they'll have closure and they'll know who snatched the young woman off the streets of Regina and murdered her.
On Saturday, Geddes' mother, Valorie Smokeyday, was joined by family members, friends and members of the First Nations community in a memorial walk honouring the spirit of the 25-year-old mother of three who disappeared a year ago.
"It is a very emotional day. It has been a difficult year for us just coming to terms with accepting what has happened," said Geddes' cousin, Terri-Lyn McNabb, speaking on behalf of the family.
Geddes disappeared on Aug. 13, 2005, while walking home from an evening with friends. She was last seen in the 900 block of Robinson Street -- the starting point for the memorial walk.
More than 60 participants walked to the edge of the city Saturday and then travelled by motorcade to the valley near Southey where Geddes' body was found in December.
"This time it (the walk) is not a search, it is part of a healing journey for us. We are hoping this will create an awareness of all the missing First Nations people -- women, children and men -- and that somebody out there who knows something, who knows what happened to Melanie, maybe will be influenced to come forward so that justice can be served for Melanie and as well as all the other missing women who are out there," McNabb said.
The families of Amber Redman, who was last seen July 15, 2005, outside Trapper's bar in Fort Qu'Appelle and five-year-old Tamra Keepness, who was reported missing from her Regina home July 6, 2004, are waiting word on their whereabouts.
"The next step in the healing process for the (Geddes) family is hopefully that justice will be served for our family and for the other families out there who are still searching for their loved ones. We are hoping that they can find closure," McNabb said.
"This will be the first time the family has visited the site," McNabb said. "It is going to be very hard on everybody."

360 women and they don't think that there is evidence of a serial killer in any more than 3-4 cases! Some of these girls are children.
Dawn Crey. Ramona Wilson. Daleen Kay Bosse. These are just three of the estimated 500 Aboriginal women who have gone missing or been murdered in Canada over the past thirty years. Directed by acclaimed Métis filmmaker Christine Welsh, Finding Dawn is a compelling documentary that puts a human face to this national tragedy.
This is an epic journey into the dark heart of Native womens experience in Canada. From Vancouvers skid row, where more than 60 women are missing, we travel to the Highway of Tears in northern British Columbia, and onward to Saskatoon, where the murders of Native women remain unresolved.
Along the road to honour those who have passed, we uncover reason for hope. It lives in Native rights activists Professor Janice Acoose and Fay Blaney. It drives events such as the annual Womens Memorial March in Vancouver and inspires communities all along the length of Highway 16 to come together to demand change.
Finding Dawn illustrates the deep historical, social and economic factors that contribute to the epidemic of violence against Native women in this country. It goes further to present the ultimate message that stopping the violence is everyones responsibility

The killing of a young sex trade worker in Winnipeg has prompted aboriginal groups to call for the creation of a task force dedicated to the cases of murdered and missing women in Manitoba.
The suggestion came Wednesday as the family of 17-year-old Fonassa Lynn Bruyere broke their silence, saying they had tried to save her from a dangerous lifestyle.
Bruyere's body was discovered last Thursday in a field on the northwest edge of Winnipeg, an area that's gained local infamy as a body dumping ground. Police are treating the case as a homicide.
Speaking at the news conference organized by native groups to publicly call for a task force, the teen's aunt made a tearful plea for the media to stop referring to her niece as a prostitute.
"We also want people to know we attempted to prevent her choices,'' said Carla Bruyere.
But she added nothing more about Fonassa's life and wouldn't accept reporters' questions.
"Who she was and what she was trapped in at this time are two different people. We just ask that we have some respect right now so we can bury her.''
The Southern Chiefs' Organization and two grassroots native groups are pressing the government to create a police team like Project Evenhanded in British Columbia and Alberta's Project Kare. Those task forces are looking into the deaths and disappearances of dozens of people, many of whom were sex-trade workers.
"How many more bodies need to be stacked up before there is a comprehensive and appropriate response by both policing institutions and government?'' asked Nahanni Fontaine, director of justice for the Southern Chiefs.

Canadian authorities are pathetically behind the USA in terms of setting up clearinghouses to track missing persons, including children. This became evident when women in the sex trade began disappearing from East Vancouver over a decade ago. Only after public outrage over the disappearances did the Vancouver RCMP finally set up a website for missing sex trade workers. Eventually they arrested the pig farmer and now he's on trial for serial murder.
I don't know WHY Canadian authorities are so lacking in this area. I don't know whether the provincial authorities are having power struggles amongst themselves, but they need to get it together. There are thousands of missing people in Canada who are unaccounted for.

That could be affecting our cases in the U.S., too. Say we're trying to identify a UID, or someone like Sharon Marshall who was abducted and kept alive. It could be a missing person from Canada who was never listed anywhere. On the flip side, some people missing from the U.S. could have turned up as UIDs in Canada.
The RCMP have charged a 29-year-old man with the murder of Saskatchewan teenager Amber Redman.
Albert Patrick Bellegarde of the Little Black Bear First Nation has been charged with the first-degree murder of Redman, 19, who disappeared in 2005, the RCMP said Tuesday afternoon.
Bellegarde appeared before a justice of the peace Tuesday afternoon in Regina. He was remanded in custody and is scheduled to appear in Regina provincial court Wednesday morning.
A second man, 31, who's also from the Little Black Bear reserve, is in custody following his arrest Monday evening in Meadow Lake.
~snip~
Bellegarde was charged a day after police announced they had found human remains believed to be those of Redman on the Little Black Bear reserve about 125 kilometres northeast of Regina.

It is a roll call of just a few of the more than 500 aboriginal women who have been murdered or gone missing in Western Canada in recent decades.
The dead and the missing were remembered Saturday by more than 200 people who joined the second annual Stolen Sisters Awareness Walk, which wound its way through the neighbourhoods of Spruce Avenue and Alberta Avenue.
The walk aims to raise awareness of -- and bring an end to -- the disproportionate amount of violence committed against indigenous women, who make up less than three per cent of the Canadian population.
"We talk about the 500 murdered and missing aboriginal women, but we know it is far more than that," Joanne Daniels, who is with the Institute of the Advancement of Aboriginal Women, told walk participants gathered at the Canadian Native Friendship Centre.
"Those are only the ones that have been reported," she said.
