The piece is one of several items that were on display in a Red Dress Day exhibit May 5 at the Aqsarniit hotel in Iqaluit. The event was organized by Qulliit Nunavut Status of Women Council. Red Dress Day is held nationally each year to recognize and spread awareness of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and gender diverse people. (Photo by David Lochead)
