Whereas section 1 of Article 15 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, to which Canada is a signatory, states, “Indigenous peoples have the right to the dignity and diversity of their cultures, traditions, histories and aspirations which shall be appropriately reflected in education and public information”; Whereas Call for Justice 2.1 of the Final Report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls calls “upon all governments to acknowledge, recognize, and protect the rights of Indigenous Peoples to their cultures and languages as inherent rights, and constitutionally protected as such under section 35 of the Constitution [Act, 1982]”; And whereas Call for Justice 15.2 of that report calls on Canadians to “[d]ecolonize by learning the true history of Canada … and learn about and celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ history, cultures, pride, and diversity”; Now, therefore, His Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate and House of Commons of Canada, enacts as follows:

She was shamed for wearing a ribbon skirt to a ‘formal dress day’ at her elementary school in December 2020. As a result, a movement across the country saw Indigenous women wearing their ribbon skirts in solidarity with Kulak.

National Ribbon Skirt Day January 4th Kulak, then 10 years old, came home upset after an educational assistant shamed her for wearing the skirt, saying it didn't match her shirt and wasn't dressy enough for a formal day. The assistant told Isabella she should have worn a store-bought outfit similar to another student's. Ribbon skirts are traditionally worn for Indigenous ceremonies by women and girls, but the garments are also used to show support for causes such as Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. On Isabella's first day back to school after she was belittled for wearing the skirt, a march was held to walk her to class. Women wore ribbon skirts and men wore their ribbon shirts. Chiefs from surrounding First Nations also attended. That was Jan. 4, 2021. CBC Jan 4, 2022
