Red Dress Day began in 2010, when artist Jaime Black (of mixed Anishinaabe and Finnish descent) responded to the more than a thousand missing and murdered Indigenous women across Canada by creating an art installation of red dresses.\u00a0Since then, May 5 has been established as the National Day of Awareness of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) in Canada, also called Red Dress Day.<\/p>\n
