National Day of Action for MMIWG2S+/Sisters in Spirit Day
October 4 is the National Day of Action and Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and 2SLGBTQIA+ People, also known as Sisters in Spirit Day. Indigenous women, girls and Two-Spirit people continue to face disproportionate rates of violence rooted in systemic racism, colonialism and gender-based violence.
This booklist offers resources to deepen understanding of the MMIWG2S+ crisis and inspire meaningful action toward justice, safety and healing.

Books to Read in Honour of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
Sept. 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a time to honour the children who never returned home from residential schools, Survivors, their families and their communities. It is also a day for reflection, learning and action. This booklist offers stories and resources that deepen our understanding of Canada’s colonial history, celebrate Indigenous voices and knowledge and encourage us all to engage with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action.
