‘It said Free Willy Pickton’: Threatening note empowers Secwepemc woman to start a safety group for Indigenous women


Lisa Kenoras was at a rally the place youth have been occupying B.C. legislature steps in solidarity with the Moist’suwet’en in so-called Victoria on Feb. 24, 2020 when a person slipped a word in her hand that shook her to her core — and impressed her to begin a security group for Indigenous girls.

Kenoras, who’s a Secwepemc girl residing in W̱SÁNEĆ territories and a pupil on the College of Victoria, didn’t know the person or count on the word.

“I used to be shocked,” Kenoras tells IndigiNews over the telephone.

The Notice

The person had left Kenoras two items of paper, a word and a drawing.

“I turned to my proper after which I regarded in my hand, and I’m like, what is that this?” Kenoras says.

“It’s type of like a crumpled up piece of paper. After which I open it. And the very first thing I see in huge letters was ‘Free Willy Pickton.’”

The word says, “Free Willy,” with an arrow pointing as much as “Free Willy” from one other message that claims, “Hyperlink to Hwy of tears lacking.”

The second piece of paper is a drawing of an individual, presumably Robert “Willy” Pickton — who was convicted of second-degree homicide within the killing of six girls in 2007 — with stairs popping out of his mouth, she explains.

On the backside of these stairs is a capsule bottle, a needle and the phrases: “They fry by clipping their wings.” Beneath that’s one other message that’s been crossed out: “The beast fries.”

Kenoras has been an advocate for MMIWG in a number of territories throughout so-called B.C. She says after she obtained the word, she skilled Submit Traumatic Stress Dysfunction (PTSD), and after honouring her therapeutic journey, she says she determined she wouldn’t be a sufferer of violence any longer.

Kenoras lives away from residence to attend college and is working in the direction of a level in Indigenous research with a minor in political science. So for her, the concern of residing away from her neighborhood and help system could be very actual, she says.

After receiving the word, Kenoras says she felt “helpless” and “type of shrunk.”

She then started to mentally, emotionally, and bodily withdraw from all the pieces and felt it greatest for her to return to her residence neighborhood of Splatsin in Enderby, B.C.

“I bought actually dangerous PTSD. I used to be scared to depart my mother,” says Kenoras.

Her mom got here to be together with her the exact same day all of it occurred, alongside her mentor and “activist aunty.”

When she returned residence for 3 months after the pandemic started, she began asking questions that finally led her to develop the Matriarch Resistance, a security group for Indigenous girls.

The Matriarch Resistance is Born

“I used to be pondering, I used to be crying, and praying. I used to be like, what can I do? What can I do? I began to really feel helpless,” Kenoras remembers.

She considered the abuse and the violence, she says, but in addition her perseverance.

“[I’m] nonetheless going to high school, nonetheless on sobriety — strolling this path,” she reminded herself.
