New exhibit to raise awareness about MMIWG2S at PGPL

Prince George – Education and awareness is what the new exhibit in the Prince George Public Library is hoping to do. Open from now until the end of September, the exhibit provides plenty of information on Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls, and has loads of visual aspects to go along with it, including red dresses along the stairway. When it comes to the educational aspects of this exhibit, it’s important to remember that the impact of the past has rippled into the present.

“When you see our brothers and sisters on the streets of Prince George, you have to remember that those are survivors of Residential School, the Sixties Scoop, and families of Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls. And that they’re suffering the long-term repercussions of colonialism.”

– Sonyia Rock, Vice Principal in SD57

The goal is to continue to make these issues known and this provides a great stepping stone to be able to do that.

“We’re hoping that it’s going to really awaken the eyes of the people living in Prince George on the atrocity of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, because that story needs to be shared. It needs to be told.”

– Adam North Peigan, National President of the Legacy of Hope Foundation
