Red Dress Day 2026 is observed on Tuesday, May 5, 2026.
The REDress Project
Red Dress Day is a National Day of Awareness in Canada dedicated to honouring the lives of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit+ people (MMIWG2S) and supporting survivors and their families.
The day was inspired by Red River Métis artist and activist Jamie Black in 2010, who helped launch the Red Dress Movement, in which red dresses are displayed in public spaces as a visual reminder of the pain, loss, and ongoing advocacy addressing gendered and racialized violence against Indigenous communities.
The installation is at home in the Canadian Journeys gallery of the Canadian Human Rights Museum in Winnipeg.
Events on Red Dress Day often include ceremonies, public displays, and educational activities to raise awareness and promote reconciliation.
In 2025, the artist Jamie Black-Morsette and KC Adams re-release the installation "Only in Darkness Can We See the Stars."

The Archetype of the Wounded Healer: Transmuting Pain into Power

The wounded healer is not the one who hides their scars.
They do not pretend to be untouched by life.
They do not wear masks of perfection.

The wounded healer wears their scars openly.
Not to seek attention.
Not to prove their worth.
But to become a living map—
a reflection, a light, a guide for others still lost in the darkness.

We do not heal in secrecy.
We heal out loud.
We break open publicly,
so that others can heal privately,
knowing they are not alone.

Our wounds become our wisdom.
Our brokenness becomes our bridge.

We do not heal despite our pain.
We heal through it.
And in doing so, we show others that survival is possible—
that thriving is possible—
that rebirth is possible.

Our journey is our strength.
Every fall, every failure, every scar is a testament.
Proof that the soul can break, bend, and still rebuild itself stronger than before.

Our vulnerability is not our weakness.
It is our armor.

To be vulnerable is to be brave.
To stand in our truth,
to speak our pain,
to reveal our humanity—
this is the greatest act of strength.

The wounded healer does not pretend the battle never happened.
They plant their flag on the battlefield,
they sit upon the ruins,
and they build sanctuaries out of the ashes.

We are not defined by what hurt us.
We are defined by how we chose to heal.

We are not here to erase the pain.
We are here to transform it into power,
into empathy,
into light.

We are here to turn our scars into lanterns.
And to walk ahead,
illuminating the path for those who still search for the way out.

We do not heal for applause.
We heal because healing is contagious.
Because freedom echoes.

The wounded healer is not the hero of the story.
They are the reminder that every soul can be its own hero.

Healing is not hiding.
Healing is living.

And our scars are not shameful.
They are sacred.
