Join Indigenous Engagement and Communications and the Centre for Human Rights Research for a heartfelt event in recognition of the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and 2SLGBTQIA+ (MMIWG2S+) people, also known as Red Dress Day.
Location: Centre Space, 216 Russell Building - 84 Curry Place, Fort Garry campus
The event will begin with a traditional Pipe Ceremony and Water Ceremony at 1:30 p.m., creating a space for reflection and connection. For the ceremony, ribbon skirts are encouraged but not necessary. You may also bring tobacco, but some will be available.
Following the ceremony, Cambria Harris whose work is driven by her family’s loss and the crisis affecting the Indigenous community, will share her advocacy work, raise awareness about MMIWG2S+ crisis, and share ways to get involved in the community.
At 3:30 p.m., all are invited to participate in an informal beading circle. Dr. Sherry Farrell Racette will be working on a community art piece, incorporating beadwork created on October 4, 2024, during the Provincial Day of Awareness and the National Day of Action for MMIWG2S+.
This event is an opportunity to honour and remember all those affected by MMIWG2S+, to come together in community to heal and reclaim spaces. Light snacks will be served.
We look forward to your participation and support. Register here:
