We have received a lot of communication from the Yukon community regarding Red Dress day and the current state of grief the Yukon is feeling. Our Elders involved in the process from planning months ago to today are telling us to remind the community of why we gather today.

Today is for our Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls, and two-spirit plus people. This does not take away or minimize the grief felt by the Yukon community and the hurt the justice system is continuing. We gather today to honour the women in our lives, challenge the systems that still exist in which don’t allow equality, equity and honour for our women. We do the fire and ceremony to educate and allow scared space to move forward healing. Please remember that when you come today.

We must also protect our women and children first and foremost. The Yukon community have ask us as organizers to ensure safety. Recent post on social media with court records of men who have harmed women and children have come to light. We as men, supports and organizers will ensure none of these men are present at the event today. If they are, please let us know and we will do what we need to ensure safety of the ceremony today.

Lastly, we must remind the community on some protocols put forward by the Elders, fire keepers, and organizers.

- no photos of the fire

- no videos when ceremony, songs and speaking is occurring.

- we will smudge and offer to***co, if you don’t want to be smudged or receive to***co, please let us know.

- Elders will be sitting up front of the fire to hear and participate in everything.

- speak with our Fire Lead before the Ceremony and prayers start if you would like to express anything.

- Elders and Youth eat first when we finish Ceremony.

If you have more to add, please contact us directly. Thank you and we look forward to seeing everyone today.

Good morning,

For the last two years, we’ve run a community sacred fire every month in support of the needs of the people. After we finished our 2025 plans last month in August. We asked if the community would like us to continue.

Since then we’ve received an overwhelming amount of messages, calls, communication from community to continue. What was expressed the most was the fact the community knew we were doing it and felt the support. Even if they couldn’t attend, they knew a fire was happening and it supported more than we even expected.

Because of the communication received, we will continue the monthly community fires. The next one is today at the Kwanlin Dun Cultural Centre Fire Pit.

We will figure out in the next few weeks the dates for the months to come and locations. We will be at the fire pit today from 12-7pm with dinner provided at 5pm.

Please come say hello, give some to***co to the fire, Everyone is welcome.

Thank you from us at Homefire, Tsalazra, and BGC Yukon.
