Two aboriginal mothers missing from the Kitigan Zibi reserve in western Quebec have been found safe.
Nicole Hannah Whiteduck, 31, and Laura Spence, 32, had been last seen on the reserve in Maniwaki, Que., about 130 kilometres north of Ottawa, on Sunday morning.
Spence is a mother of four, including a three-month-old.
The pair had gone out the night before their disappearance, according to Spence's mother, Bridget Tolley. She also said they left their money, wallets and cellphones at home.
"The importance is these young women being reunited. That's it, that's all, reunited with their family," Chief Gilbert Whiteduck said Thursday.
The women's disappearance came about a week after James Anaya, the UN special rapporteur on the rights of indigenous people, called on the federal government to launch a "comprehensive and nationwide" inquiry into the case of missing and murdered aboriginal women.
This summer, Canada's provinces also issued a joint call for a full inquiry. The federal NDP and Liberals have also requested this, but the government has yet to agree.
The Native Women's Association of Canada estimates there are more than 600 missing and murdered First Nations women across the country.
Two aboriginal women — Shannon Alexander and Maisy Odjick — disappeared from Maniwaki more than five years ago. They have not been heard from since.
Quebec provincial police officers in Montreal say the investigation into their disappearance remains open.
