Red Dress

Each year the SD 19 Indigenous Education Department creates a REDress art installation at the lodge beside the School Board Office.

First Peoples Principle of Learning:

Learning ultimately supports the well-being of the self, the family, the community, the land, the spirits, and the ancestors.

The REDress Project began as an art installation by Métis artist Jaime Black in 2010. Since then, the REDress Project has become a movement and Red Dress Day is annually observed on May 5th. This day of observation and action brings awareness to the ongoing crisis of Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirit People.
