      April Ballantyne wrote this song for her mother, Emily Norma Ballantyne, who went missing in 1991, from Lynn Lake, Man. “It was a song composed for her, but I decided to dedicate it to all the MMIWG because I know their families feel this song just as much as I do,” Ballantyne says. This video is part of CBC's "Mother. Sister. Daughter." project, a months-long investigation into the status of the national MMIWG inquiry's calls for justice.
