Throughout the week, students at the University of Saskatchewan remembered missing and murdered indigenous women.

An emotional candle light vigil was held Friday afternoon on campus, with about 40 students taking part.

Some students shared stories of missing loved ones while others spoke about the injustice indigenous women face on a daily basis.

Regan Ratt Misponas says the student associations and faculty declared this week in honour and memory of missing and murdered indigenous women.

“It was a good way to close, it was a good way to keep in memory the lives of our sisters, to keep that alive with us,” said Ratt Misponas. “It was very, very emotional but also very great to end it with the victory song.”

Earlier this week U of S students held a forum and a rally for missing and murdered indigenous women.
