A dozen family members of a 26-year-old Indigenous woman who was fatally shot by police in Edmundston, N.B., last week, arrived in New Brunswick Monday to a high-profile greeting at the Fredericton airport.
The relatives of Chantel Moore travelled across the country from British Columbia to offer support to her grieving mother and daughter.

A ceremony that featured drumming and singing acknowledged the family’s arrival.
New Brunswick Aboriginal Affairs Minister Jake Stewart, who was joined at the airport by Lt.-Gov. Brenda Murphy, said he wanted to offer condolences from the provincial government.
St. Mary’s First Nation Chief Allan Polchies said Moore’s death occurred a year after the report on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, and Indigenous leaders are still waiting for action.
