One last speaker takes the microphone on the stairs of the Vancouver Police Station. Decolonize your mind, she tells us. Just because these women are missing doesn’t mean that they aren’t important. We are suffering at the hands of systemic racism. We need to recognize the aboriginal women in our society! Decolonize your mind! Let’s reclaim our traditions, our cultural practices. Let’s seek the teachings of our ancestors, the original people. Let’s decolonize our minds! This police station is a symbol of justice, but it only serves itself. We can’t wait for justice. There is no justice on stolen land.
