   Today is Red Dress Day, in honour of missing and murdered Indigenous people. In Canada, Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit people are six times more likely to be murdered than their non-Indigenous counterparts.

   “However, nearly four years after the release of the Final Report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, and two years following the release of the National Action Plan, only two of the 231 Calls for Justice have been implemented, while an implementation timeline has yet to be released.”

     I have received threats against my life for my solidarity with land defenders. One of my friends, an elderly Haudenosaunee woman, was sitting by a fire when she was shot at by police. The violence is systemic and must end.
