Singing from the mountain tops, Indigenous artists Dani Lion and Jodie B are calling the missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and Two Spirit people home. “In the lyric I sing,’I am the river, I am the mountains, I am the rock beneath your soles’,” said Jodie ‘Jodie B’ Bruce, producer and artist.‘We are just energy. Energy is not destroyed, it is transformed, and so it kind of goes to a message for our lost sisters. When they are gone, they aren’t really gone, they live amongst everything nature.” Get daily National news Get the day's top news, political, economic, and current affairs headlines, delivered to your inbox once a day.

Their song called “Mountain Prayer” is a call to action.“It’s really important that we do raise awareness for it because if we don’t, how do we change anything about it,” said Bruce.Statistics Canada shows that Indigenous women and girls are six times more likely to be murdered than other groups of people in Canada, which is a reality the duo knows all too well.
