Red Sky Performance

Today is Red Dress Day — and we offered the Healing Dress Dance (now widely known as the Jingle Dress Dance) performed by Rylan Bomberry, Hope Osawamick, and Madison Noon in honour of the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit People.

This day calls on all of us to focus our attention on ending the disproportionate violence faced by Indigenous women, girls, and communities across this country—so that Indigenous sisters are valued, recognized, respected, and safe.
