‘It’s disheartening:’ Teepees start to come down at Saskatchewan legislature
REGINA — Teepees came down at an Indigenous protest camp on the grounds of the Saskatchewan legislature on Monday, and protesters say more will be brought down on Tuesday.
The Saskatchewan Coalition Against Racism said in an email late Monday that teepees would be coming down throughout the day Tuesday, and there would be a round dance for supporters and campers at sunset.
On Friday, a judge ordered that the Justice For Our Stolen Children Camp be dismantled after the government applied for a court-ordered eviction.
The campers have been protesting racial injustice and the disproportionate number of Indigenous children in care since late February.
