This carved red cedar pole stands in remembrance of the missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls across Canada, the fourteen women murdered in the Montreal Massacre and all women who suffer in silence as victims of violence.
At the top of the pole is a woman wrapped in a blanket with eyes closed in a peaceful state to honour all loved ones who have suffered. Below her is an eagle imparted with the power to carry prayers to the creator.
