Wearing red for honour

Missing and murdered indigenous women are being remembered on First Nations across the country with the red dress being recognized as the symbol of these women.

Trina Abitong of Sagamok-Anishnawbek First Nation says over 30 people came out to walk for awareness on Sunday, and their main dress was placed at the community Wellness Department

More dresses were added to the sign in Massey and also the natural rock formation, the Indian Head.

She adds more events will be held in May to remember the women.

Community Wellness Workers Trina Abitong, Somer Nighswander, Garnette Sago, Michele Peltier and Gail Trudeau are leading the initiatives this month.
