Shades of Our Sisters  London, Ontario | August 25th-26th, 2017 | London Public Library

We opened the exhibit for two days at the end of August in London, ON. A steady flow of people came through to learn about the issue of MMIW and to get to know Sonya and Patricia. Again, we were lucky to have both Joyce Carpenter and Maggie Cywink’s support during the entirety of the exhibit. 

This time around, we opened a spot at the entrance area for two other missing and murdered Indigenous women, Tashina General and Helyna Lynn Rivera. The families of Tashina General and Helyna Lynn Rivera also attended the exhibition and brought some personal items so the public could get to know these women. 

On Saturday, a closing ceremony was held by members of the Atlohsa Native Family Healing Services Inc., and 3 feathers were added to an Eagle Staff for MMIWG in honour of Tashina, Patricia and Helyna. A feather for Sonya had been added a few years back already. Overall, it was a very emotional but healing and special moment for every single person there.

Thank you Atlohsa for your support!
