STORY: Indigenous leaders and community members gathered in Minneapolis on Saturday (February 7) to hold a memorial for people lost to federal immigration enforcement operations.

The ceremony, called ‘Wokiksuye – In Remembrance & Witness’, was held in Powderhorn Park to honor the lives of Renee Good, and Alex Pretti.

A letter from Renee’s wife, Becca Good, was read aloud to the crowd, urging people to remember not only Renee’s name, but also the others whose stories might not be known.

The memorial also featured community singing and a poem by Minneapolis poet laureate Junauda Petrus.
