Items from the sacred bundle of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people will be shared as part of a special display to mark National MMIWG2S+ Awareness Day.

The sacred bundle includes hundreds of artistic expressions created by family members, friends, survivors, artists, and others during the National Inquiry. It was entrusted and welcomed to the care of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in 2021.

Affected loved ones of the MMIWG2S+ community selected items for display from the sacred bundle. Many of these loved ones will be on site to care for these items throughout the three‐day display. Support persons for visitors will also be on site.

In addition, a large projection of a red dress will be shown on the exterior of the Museum starting the evening of May 4.

The items will be on display in the Level 1 Gallery and can be visited from Friday, May 5 until Sunday, May 7.

There will be no admission fees to visit the display. Admission to the entire Museum is free after 5:00 p.m. on Fridays.
