We didn't really create a model with our action plan. It was more or less a learning lesson from the Summer Kneebone case.
We were lucky enough in our searches that we had volunteers who were non-indigenous allies and members from the community she was from. We were lucky enough to reach an instructor from New Brunswick or Nova Scotia who was teaching a law course, and he got his students involved online. While we were doing the search, he had his students online, and they were able to track a vehicle that was similar to hers. Because of using social media and the people who connected through social media in his classroom, we were able to track this vehicle down. It was just recently sold. It wasn't the actual vehicle.
I think it's dead-on what they're thinking, which is to not depend only on indigenous communities but on Canadians in general. When there's a call-out and a process that you can utilize, a common social media platform you can utilize, you would be amazed at how many people will get on there, especially the younger generation, because they're much more technologically witty than me. I don't use social media very often. The number of people we had was close to 400 and 500 if you looked at social media.
The Amber alert is something I use as an example, but I think that this one needs to be indigenous-led, and I think it needs to be not only indigenous but non-indigenous, because they are allies. They can share the information and the resources they have. It's like giving you 500 sets of eyes. You can almost track somebody down with 500 sets of eyes, so they are really dead-on. I don't want to use examples because I might be mistaking them. They're very correct, and social media is the way to go. If you're using an Amber alert, there need be connections to each other. We need to able to connect to other organizations far and wide.
We have a person here who's from Newfoundland, an indigenous person at risk. I have one from Ontario. If you look at Chantel Moore, she wasn't from New Brunswick, but she was one who got murdered by a police officer through a wellness check. I think there's such an impact across Canada that it doesn't matter where you're from.
