REDress Day Bringing Awareness to MMIWG2S  May 5, 2021  Local Journalism Initiative Reporter Today is REDress Day, also known as the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and 2 spirit people. The REDress awareness campaign started in 2010 by Metis Artist Jamie Black. The REDress Campaign has been gaining momentum across Turtle Island since it began in 2010, each dress representing an Indigenous woman who has been murdered or is missing.  The Red Dress has become a symbol of the thousands of victims of violence against Indigenous women and girls. The colour red represents spirit in Anishinaabe culture, because red is the only color that spirits can see. People wear red for MMIWG2S so that the souls of those they’ve lost can be with them.
