Commissioners of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls finish the last steps of the tikinaagan, or cradleboard, ceremony at the final report’s closing ceremony on Monday, June 3, at the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau. In the ceremony, the commissioners sat on a star blanket and, once the report was swaddled and placed in a cradleboard, touched the pages with sacred materials from different Indigenous peoples. That included water from the east, west, south and north, held in copper cups—with the northern water having come from an iceberg. The report was then tied with a Métis sash. Grandmothers and family members, seen sitting behind the commissioners, then acknowledged the bundle before it was handed to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Two young Inuit girls watch the Tikinaagan (or cradleboard) ceremony, which prepared the final report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls so it could be passed to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Monday, June 3. The girls sat with Inuit elder Meeka Arnakak at the back of stage for the entirety of the closing ceremony, as the elder tended to a qulliq throughout the event. The children playing in the background brought a little lightness to the event, and for her final words a First Nations elder noted that the girls having such carefree fun was “the way it’s supposed to be” for young Indigenous children.
