October 4 - Sisters in Spirit Day
We remember and honour Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQIA+ people who are missing or murdered.
Safety for Indigenous women reflects safety for us all.

#SistersInSpirit #MMIWG2S #MMIP #NoMoreStolenSisters #BCNWA

We honour Survivors and remember the children who never came home. 10 years after the TRC Calls to Action, much is still undone. At BCNWA, this history is close to us through family, community, and our office in Kamloops IRS.

Honouring Indigenous Peoples Day & Summer Solstice.

We are still here, gathering, grieving, leading, healing.

Indig men and boys experience violence too. Their stories matter.

Safety and dignity are rights for all Indig ppl. UNDRIP, the TRC, Calls for Justice, and the UN SDGs call for balanced, inclusive action rooted in care and accountability.
