“Elder Irene Robinson spoke about how, prior to contact, Indigenous women were hard workers and highly valued in Indigenous culture. But their value seemed to diminish as cultural values of the colonizers crept in and were, at least in part, adopted.
The European settlers looked down on women, both in their country and in North America. Robinson shared stories of how First Nations women were often assaulted and raped by traders…. "

We are not disposable.
Our women , girls and Two-Spirit people still suffer from the often lethal consquences of colonialism.
We need to work together to end the violence, to protect our women, and to bring those that have been cruelly taken, home.
A landfill is not a place for human beings. #ashleeshingoose , #TanyaNepinak , and sadly, likely more, are waiting to have a proper resting place so that they can rest in peace.

“Indigenous midwives are building trust, wellness, and safety in their communities every day. Despite limited access to resources, they are already doing the work that has been left undone for far too long. Through strengthened collaboration and support from policymakers, we can build safer futures together.”
— Alisha Julien Reid, Mi’kmaq midwife and NCIM Co-Chair
The National Council of Indigenous Midwives are urging the gov't to deliver on justice for MMIWG2S+, by recognizing, investing in, and working with Indigenous-led health services like midwifery as a key response to health care issues.
Read their statement:

In the wake of a federal election that barely mentioned this epidemic of violence, we remember the 231 calls to action outlined in The Final Report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and encourage you to read it through: www.mmiwg-ffada.ca/final-report/
Only 2 have been addressed so far.
We mourn the lives of those lost to violence & their communities on this #RedDressDay.
We echo the call for policies that uphold bodily autonomy, address systemic violence, and protect Indigenous women, girls, & 2-Spirit people.
Reproductive and Indigenous justice are inseparable.

National Red Dress Day, drawing attention to the missing and murdered indigenous women and girls.
Today, May 5, is Red Dress Day. It's a day of remembrance and action, in honour of missing and murdered indigenous women, girls and two-spirit people accross Canada. 🇨🇦 #RedDressDay #MMIWG2S #SettlerColonialism #Canada
"Today is Red Dress Day.
As an Indigenous woman, this day is deeply personal. We carry the stories of our sisters, our aunties, our daughters — too many taken, too many still missing.
Red Dress Day is a day of remembrance. But it must also be a call to action. The violence faced by Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit people is not new — and it’s not over.
We need more than words. We need justice, safety, and real, sustained action rooted in truth and reconciliation.
To the families and survivors: I see you, I stand with you, and I carry your voices forward every day 🧡"
- Jodi Calahoo Stonehouse
ford-lite lib says: @BonnieCrombie: On Red Dress Day, we honour the lives of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit people.
We must continue to listen, learn, and act—to seek justice and end the violence. #MMIWG2S #RedDressDay https://t.co/1bhHvI7fC0
Noting that today is - among other things - #RedDressDay, #DutchLiberationDay #DanishLiberationDay and #cincodemayo. Whatever you're observing in whatever way today, may the day be kind to you.
