Connie Greyeyes

Resolution Health Support Worker / MMIWG Coordinator

Connie is a Cree Woman from Bigstone Cree Nation in Northern Alberta. Connie was born and raised in Fort St. John, BC.  

Describing herself as an 'accidental' activist, Connie began her advocacy work when she realized many Indigenous women in her community and surrounding area had gone missing or murdered. Connie started organizing local vigils to support the families of the missing and murdered women, which transpired into wanting to raise awareness of the issue and led her to the steps of parliament.   

She has advocated for families for nearly a decade and worked closely with Amnesty International on the report "Out of Sight, Out of Mind." She now works for Indian Residential School Survivors Society as an MMIWG Coordinator for the Northern Region. She is grateful to continue the work that she is passionate about. Connie is a proud mother to Jason and Jordan.
