Brandy Stanovich says she got overwhelmed when she hung up a little red dress representing a young girl for an exhibit at the Native Women’s Association of Canada’s (NWAC) office in Gatineau, Que.
“That’s a tough one there when you think about the children, because our children are the future and then it’s taken away from them,” said Stanovich, missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls (MMIWG) manager at NWAC.
“It’s taken away from us and that should never be.”
In the exhibit for the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and Two-Spirit people on May 5, the hanging red dresses represent a lost or stolen Indigenous sister.
