REMEMBERING KELLY MORRISSEAU

Posted by zoom! on June 18, 2009, at 2:18 pm |

Street Art: Kelly Morrisseau

There’s a new piece of street art in town, and it’s not funny.



Located in Minto Park, at Elgin and Gilmour, the art installation consists of a
painting of Kelly Morrisseau, and a short summary of some of the more salient
details of her short life and horrific death.



Kelly's life and death - click to enlarge

Kelly was an Aboriginal woman. She was 26 years old. She had three children and
was seven months pregnant when she was murdered. Two and a half years later, her
killers have never been found. Some speculate that nobody’s looking very hard.





The Women's Monument

It’s no coincidence that this piece of art is located in Minto Park, which is
also home to the monument for all women abused or murdered by men.



The monument was erected after Ottawa lawyer Patricia Allen was shot dead by her
crossbow-wielding husband. The murder took place in broad daylight, right beside
this busy downtown park. Every time another woman in Ottawa is murdered by a
man, another stone is added to the monument. It’s getting crowded.

“I’m trying, by putting up a piece of street art, to bring some attention back
to Kelly Morrisseau, to let people know that she was a person worth remembering,
and perhaps even get some new attention brought onto the case,” says Ottawa’s
favourite street artist. “It shouldn’t take a street artist to get people to
remember someone who was far too quickly forgotten.”

Kelly Morrisseau, 1979-2006

   I remember when she was murdered, I had just moved to Ottawa earlier that
   year. It made me so mad and still does. I’m glad someone made this memorial.
   Thanks for posting this, zoom!

   Too many aboriginal women (and men) live short brutish lives. The reasons are
   varied and complex but it’s a remarkably wide and deep stain on all of us
   that this is so.
   
   Is there a chance that this installation could be translated and erected in
   the vicinity of the offices of the Securite Quebec in Gatineau in whose
   jurisdiction the murder occured?

   I really like the last two lines on her bio: there are too many victims;
   there is not enough justice. It’s sad, but it’s true. In the US, I’m not sure
   about Canada, but really, the amount of justice you get is the amount that
   you can afford.

   be served so that those who do these horrible crimes will not be walking
   among us

   I am so sorry for your loss kelly was a good hearted woman and definitly
   didnt deserve this i hope that her family has found comfort from the thought
   that she is watching over you from heaven above
   R.I.P Kelly

   people are still writing about this yet nobody has found the killer? why is
   it that when a native woman or man Dies in some sort of slaying the never
   find the killer they seem to make a big deal about it for a minute or two but
   then nothing but i can guarentee that if it was one of there family members
   out there that had to lay cold and dieing on the ground then something would
   be done.
   That is beyond wrong and my faith in the justice system is long gone how many
   more people are going to have to die before they can get it right? Kelly has
   been gone for 3 years now and yet they have found nothing on her case Her
   family has been working harder on this then the cops and need i remind you
   that none of them are police so what is happening in this world?

   Three years later and still no updates in this case.I really dont believe the
   police work very hard to solve the cases when it comes to murdered aboriginal
   women.I remember only one case twenty years ago when a friend of mine was
   killed here in winnipeg,her body was wrapped in plastic and she was dumped in
   a garbage bin.They made a arrest in the case it was in all the papers.Thye
   made it seem as though he was a victim because he took this woman home and
   then cuaght her trying to steal money from his wallet.So he killed her .Like
   he had the right to take her life over a measly 600.00 dollars.he was charged
   with manslaughter and sentenced to six years.WTF??? Six years for taking a
   womans life.This is the first and only time I have ever heard of a case being
   solved when it comes to First nations women.I can honestly say the police
   dont care.I doubt they will ever make a arrest when it comes to Kelly
   Morriseau they say a case go’s cold after 48 hours and well it’s been three
   years now.I know that around the same time Kelly was found two caucasian
   women in Ottawa were also killed and a huge reward was offered for
   information involving the case they even ha da crimestoppers video that was
   aired on tv for these women.But at the same time there was no reward for
   Kelly it was only after people saw the reward being offered for the two
   whithe women that people saw how unfair and cold hearted this society is when
   it comes to murdered first nation s women that a reawrd was then pooled
   together by various groups .I am a first nations woman and mother to three
   daughters I am allways worried when my daughters leave the house.Some one is
   killing our women and girls and getting away with it because the Police dont
   care and society has grown insensitive.

     I’m African from Mozambique, i totally agree with You regardless the
     injustice and double standard by Canadian society, i can promise much but i
     will do little i can do see one day justice coming. I posted her pic at my
     facebook profile. So people can remember her. Rest in peace in God hands

   The real justice will came,we will wait patiently. The media and some so
   called members of justice might forgot about you, but not the sons of God. I
   will be here waiting for yours justice, i promise not to forget you. Rest in
   peace. Yours children are in God hands now.
