No Stone Unturned Concert at the Forks
I've been going to the No Stone Un-
turned Concert for quite some time and
I've interviewed Bernadette Smith many
times now.
For those who don't know, Smith has
been involved with the issue of Murdered
and Missing Indigenous Women for quite
some time helping to found Drag the Red,
the No Stone Unturned Concert and win-
ning the Order of Manitoba.
And I know from past interviews that
the recognition and honours does nothing
to dull the pain she feels for her missing
sister, Claudette Osborne, who disap-
peared in 2008.
Smith is still looking for answers about
her sister's disappearance so if anyone
has information then get in touch with
her.
From past years, I also know that
Hector Menow and his family originally
organized the free concert at the Forks
continuing to do so this day.
He is also a performer who donates his
time.
And speaking of performers who do-
nate their time, Errol Ranville of C-Weed
was there to perform.
"Leave No Stone Unturned," said
Ranville, "that's the only way to do an
investigation."
Ranville is nominated for a Native
American Music Award this year. In the
past, he's been nominated for awards in
Juno and Country Music Awards. He's
won at the Manitoba Country Music
Awards.
Like all the performers, C-Weed do-
nated their performance.
The evening is capped off with a can-
dlelight vigil for missing and murdered
Indigenous women.
