Nearly eight months later, Albert Bellegarde received a 25-year sentence after pleading to second-degree murder.

Despite justice being served, Yuzicappi continues to struggle with the loss of her daughter.

“When I see another mother with her daughter… it hurts, it hurts me so much.”

Redman’s story isn’t unique, in fact, it’s quite the opposite. Hundreds of Indigenous women have gone missing over the years, many of which also lost their life.

Before speaking to Cumberland College, Yuzicappi spoke at the Saskatchewan Legislature as the province also recognized Red Dress Day.

While sharing a bit of her daughter’s story, she also spoke about the continued problem Indigenous women continue to face.

“We’re targets. If you’re Indigenous, if you’re a woman, you’re a target.”

Meanwhile, a walk was also held in P.A. for Red Dress Day with Russ Mirasty, Saskatchewan’s Lieutenant Governor, in attendance.
