National Ribbon Skirt Day
Jan 4 2023, 8am
For many Indigenous women, ribbon skirts have been an important part of their identity and history. They've also been worn at marches across Canada in honour of the missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls.
The Senate bill describes the skirt as a "centuries-old spiritual symbol of womanhood, identity, adaptation and survival and … a way for women to honour themselves and their culture."
