~ no more stolen sisters ~
 
Made with grief and love. We hope this piece of medicine helps you find healing <3
 
Our hearts are heavy as we honour our Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit (MMIWG2S+) peoples.
 
Every year, since 2010, May 5th has marked Red Dress Day. Coined by Métis artist Jaime Black’s REDress Project. Since the birth of the REDress Project, the MMIWG2S+ movement has evolved into a national inquiry to address the systemic violence against Indigenous women, girls and two-spirit peoples in Canada. Hearing of the national inquiry and the grandiosity of the MMIWG2S+ movement, it can be easy to see this as a problem outside of ourselves. MMIWG2S+ is Canada’s shame and its effects ripple through all of our communities.
 
We invite you to allow yourself to feel the depth of grief that we experience as survivors, friends, families, neighbours, and community members. The fear we have for our daughters, sisters, mothers, and loved ones. The anger we have that there has been no justice. The hope we have to make a better world for the next generation of Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit peoples.
 
No more stolen relatives.
