Red Dress Day (Honouring MMIP)
May 5th is the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP). It is also known as Red Dress Day, during which we wear red or display red clothing to honour and commemorate missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit people. Red Dress Day was inspired by Métis artist Jaime Black’s REDress Project installation, in which she hung empty, red dresses to represent the missing and murdered women. Red dresses have become symbolic of the crisis as a result of her installation. This list of books/resources seeks to inform readers about the social, cultural, and political issues that have contributed to the crisis of missing and murdered women, girls, and two-spirit people, but also to recognize the resilience and community of those working for justice.
