Biography
Diem Saunders was an Inuk writer and activist from Newfoundland and Labrador who became a leading voice in the movement for missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. Born January 1, 1992, in Canada, Saunders rose to public prominence following the 2014 murder of their sister Loretta Saunders in Halifax—an incident that sparked renewed national conversation around the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. The family later testified at hearings for the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls in 2017. Beyond advocacy, Saunders was also a writer, engaging in creative and critical work around Indigenous issues. In 2016, Saunders joined activist Billy Gauthier in a nearly two-week hunger strike protesting the environmental impacts of the planned Muskrat Falls hydroelectric project on Indigenous communities in Labrador. The strike concluded after an agreement with the provincial government established an expert advisory committee, and Saunders received Amnesty International's Ambassador of Conscience Award in 2017. Later that year, Saunders experienced liver failure and was denied placement on a transplant waiting list due to Ontario's six-month alcohol abstinence requirement—criticism of this policy sparked nationwide debate. As a Capricorn and life-path 5 individual, Saunders embodied the activist energy of seeking truth and challenging systemic barriers. Saunders died on September 7, 2021.
