MMIWG2S+ Advocacy Resources

Our history textbooks tell an incomplete story. The systematic erasure of Indigenous peoples, cultures, and lives represents one of Canada’s darkest chapters—yet remains largely absent from educational curriculums.

Teach the Genocide is NWAC’s educational initiative calling for mandatory inclusion of Indigenous genocide history in Canadian schools. From residential schools to the ongoing MMIWG2S+ crisis, these truths must be acknowledged for genuine reconciliation to begin.

By understanding our shared past, we create the foundation for a more just future. Visit our dedicated platform to learn more and add your voice to this essential movement.

On October 4, families, survivors, and communities gather in circles to remember our loved ones who never came home. The Sisters in Spirit Vigils are not just events, they are sacred spaces where we honour the lives of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals (MMIWG2S+). They are places of love, grief, resistance, and strength.

At the heart of every vigil are the families who carry stories of unimaginable loss, and the survivors who courageously share their truths. These vigils belong to them. By gathering, we lift up their voices, hold space for their healing, and promise that their loved ones will never be forgotten.
