Last week, Assiniboine elder and knowledge keeper Tim Eashappie joined the Huskies at South Corman Park School to speak with Grade 4, 5 and 6 students about the importance of May 5th, the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, also known as Red Dress Day. 

After Tim spoke with students about what this day means for Indigenous women, girls, two-spirit, gender-diverse people, their loved ones, families and communities, students and Huskie athletes coloured and decorated their own red dresses. 

These dresses are now on display at Merlis Belsher Place and will remain so until the end of May as a symbol of support and solidarity with Indigenous communities.

A special thank you to Tim for his time, wisdom and generosity in bringing this important conversation to the next generation through fostering kindness, empathy and understanding.

To Indigenous student-athletes paige.rolles and jesssundby from huskietfcc - thank you for time, commitment and mentorship.

To the USask Office of Vice-Provost Indigenous Engagement, thank you for your ongoing support, feedback and guidance. 

The Huskies stand with the families and communities mourning the loss of loved ones, as well as those still waiting, hoping and searching for answers. 

You are in our hearts. Never forgotten. No more stolen sisters ♥️💚
