National Ribbon Skirt Day

JANUARY 3, 2024 — Tomorrow marks Canada's second National Ribbon Skirt Day. Parliament declared the official day after being inspired by Isabella Kulak, a member of the Cote First Nation in Saskatchewan, who faced ridicule for wearing a ribbon skirt to her rural school.

Traditionally, ribbon skirts are worn by Indigenous women, girls and gender-diverse individuals during ceremony and special community events. The skirts represent strength, pride and identity for those who wear them and are an important part of Indigenous culture.
