Communities across northern BC, came together yesterday (Tuesday) to honor Luke Pearson, a 32-year-old man from Skidegate, whose death has sparked a powerful movement.
Following the accused’s family’s departure from Haida Gwaii, supporters lined highways from Prince Rupert to Prince George – drumming, singing, and calling for justice.
Along with mourning, this was a stand against violence, addiction, and the ongoing trauma facing Indigenous peoples.
Their main message – We stand with Haida Gwaii.
