Create your own beaded or fabric red dress pin and learn about the significance of the red dress symbol in raising awareness about missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and 2-Spirit people.

Artist Pearl White Quills will teach edge beading technique with other teachings and storytelling. We are also honoured to have Deborah Green join us. Deborah Green (Gopher) | Kakike manitohkan iskwew — Eternal Spirit Woman, is a proud Nehiyaw Iskwew (Cree woman) from Kawacatoose and Piapot’s First Nations in Saskatchewan, and one of the original organizers of Calgary’s Red Dress Day event.

Our Commitment to Equity

Our commitment to Indigenous reconciliation, racial equity, disability justice, and gender and sexual diversity.

We acknowledge that the land we gather on, Mohkinsstsis, is the ancestral territory of the Siksikaitsitapi — the Blackfoot people — comprising the Siksika, Kainai and Piikani Nations, as well as Treaty 7 signatories, the Tsuut’ina Nation and the Îyârhe Nakoda Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney First Nations. Today this land is home to the Otipemisiwak Métis Government Districts 5 and 6 as well as many First Nations and Inuit from across Turtle Island.

We acknowledge that there has been art, music, dance, storytelling and ceremony on this land since time immemorial and it is in the spirit of this land and its people that we do our work.

Please see our full Commitment to Equity, including the sections on our aspirations, accountability, current initiatives and EDIA history.
