Day of Mourning

The Day of Mourning is a time set aside to honor and remember Indigenous peoples, particularly in Canada, acknowledging their history, struggles, and contributions. It recognizes the injustices and harms caused by colonization, including displacement and cultural loss. This day encourages reflection, reconciliation, and ongoing efforts toward justice, understanding, and respect for Indigenous communities. It is observed through ceremonies, events, and educational activities that aim to raise awareness and foster a more inclusive and equitable society.
