On January 4, we honour and celebrate the beauty, tradition, and significance of ribbon skirts in Indigenous cultures. Ribbon skirts are a strong symbol of heritage and unity. We recognize the vibrant colours, stories, and craftsmanship woven into each skirt, and honour the resilience and strength of Indigenous communities.
Many First Nations across Turtle Island have a tradition of wearing ribbon skirts and they all have their own stories and protocol around them.
