Participants will wear their beadworks in the shape of a red dress in the period leading up to Red Dress Day. “It’s a learning opportunity for these members of our community, and a teaching opportunity for them to spread awareness of its significance,” Aiabens says.

A mini round dance and panel discussion Tuesday, Feb. 14, will bring continued awareness to Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2 Spirit people.

“Violence against Indigenous women and girls is an unfair reality and cruel truth, but one that needs to be better understood in order to protect the health and safety of all Indigenous sisters,” says Michelle Nahdee, Indigenous legal studies co-ordinator in the Faculty of Law.

people standing in line“Lacrosse as Medicine,” Monday at the Faculty of Human Kinetics, included a hands-on workshop in the Dennis Fairall Fieldhouse. Leading the workshop was Windsorite Rain Whited and his long-time friend and professional lacrosse player Kellen LeClair of the Buffalo Bandits.

Event highlights importance of lacrosse in Indigenous culture

Jan 26th, 2023

Rain Whited was just four when his father thought he was old enough to begin playing organized sports.

“He asked me, ‘Do you want to play hockey or lacrosse?’ I didn’t even know what lacrosse was but I said, ‘Lacrosse.’ I think it was the Creator guiding me.”

For Whited, a member of the Oneida Nation of the Thames, lacrosse went on to become an integral part of his life. He played for the Windsor Warlocks, Windsor Clippers, and Wallaceburg Red Devils until he aged out of competitive leagues locally at 21.
