The case of Edna Bernard

From the time she was young, Edna Bernard’s life had challenges.

According to one family member, Edna spent time in foster care as child. As a teenager, she was exposed to the sex trade and later, drugs.

Despite these obstacles, Edna, who was from Whitefish Lake First Nation, a Cree community in Alberta, loved her children deeply.

“She'd do anything for them," said Irene Bernard, Edna’s aunt.

Edna was mother to six boys.

“She always telling me to take care of her boys,” said Bernard, who remembers Edna being afraid of something or someone.
