October 4th is recognized as Sisters in Spirit to remember missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and Two Spirit folks while also fighting to end colonialist violence. In Dawson we are gathering on Monday, October 5th.

Massive mähsi cho to the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in Heritage Department for creating and sharing Hän language around Sisters in Spirit.
