The Welland Tribune’s Kris Dubé covered the Nov. 27 Faceless Dolls workshop at Niagara College’s Welland campus, a project to visually represent the countless “faceless” victims of crime, Indigenous women and girls who have gone missing or have been murdered in Canada.
The story centres around Emily Kudluk, an alumna of NC’s horticulture program with a very personal connection to the issue; her aunt Denise Bourdeau was murdered. Kudluk explains that this project raises awareness of murdered Indigenous women like her aunt, giving them a face and identity. “By me telling my aunt’s story, it’s putting a face to it,” Kudluk explains.
Brought to the college by alumna Alkie Babe Froman, the Faceless Dolls initiative is coordnated by the School of Academic & Liberal Studies to raise awareness of this important issue.
