Red Dress Day

May 5th, also known as National Red Dress Day, is a day set aside to raise awareness for MMIWG2S+. As well to honor the Victime, Families and survivors of Gender base Violence directed to Women, and in particular to Indigenous Women. Women are Sacred life givers and need to be kept safe. We will host a gathering at Oodena Circle for 6 p.m. which will contain speeches from the Women and Families involved, followed by a Prayer walk in remembrance of those that are no longer with us and for those who bravely, and fiercely fought to stay alive.

Located at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine rivers, The Forks (also known as Nestawaya in Cree) has been a meeting place for over 6,000 years – located on the original lands of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Lakota peoples and resides in the National Homeland of the Red River Métis. This place also has deep ties with Dene and Inuit peoples, operates with water from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, and has welcomed people from all walks of life to trade, visit, and build community. In this spirit, all staff and administration here respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
