MKO to hold march against racism after allegations of racial profiling against Walmart

After hearing growing concerns regarding the purported mistreatment of Indigenous customers shopping at the local Walmart, MKO are planning a march to protest the racism they’re experiencing at the store.

 

Grand Chief Garrison Settee the organization has heard from a number of First Nations citizens who say they have been racially profiled.

 

He adds Indigenous people shopping at the Thompson location contribute substantial amounts of money to the corporation.

 

MKO sent a letter to Walmart earlier this month to coordinate a meeting to discuss solutions on this matter.

 

The march will be this Monday beginning at 1 p.m. at the Giant Tiger parking lot, and will move along Thompson Drive North, ending at the Walmart parking lot.
