Kneeling for missing, murdered indigenous women

Many people have seen the kneels that National Football League quarterback Colin Kaepernick of the San Francisco 49ers has taken during the national anthem to protest racial oppression and police brutality in the United States.

Since Kaepernick’s gesture gained widespread attention in late August, teams at various levels in several sports have followed his example.

The entire Tommies men’s basketball squad was among the latest teams to do that Saturday night, but as a way to raise awareness for missing and murdered indigenous women and children in Canada.
