A message on the anniversary of the death of Joyce Echaquan (September 28) and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (Orange Shirt Day, September 30)

On these two days of mourning and reflection, we in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences honour the memories of Joyce Echaquan and the victims and survivors of residential schools across Quebec and Canada. As Indigenous Health Professions Program Director Konwahahawi (Sarah) Rourke reminds us in her moving statement today, mcgill.ca/x/whu, these two events are powerfully connected examples of the harmful and lasting impact colonization has had on Indigenous peoples’ education and healthcare. The Faculty will continue to partner with Indigenous colleagues, communities and learners to create spaces together where they can teach and learn, be cared for and be healers, in an environment that is compassionate, respectful and culturally safe.

In the spirit of celebrating and learning about our vibrant Indigenous communities, I hope you can join in the activities offered during McGill’s Indigenous Awareness Weeks, which wrap up on October 2: mcgill.ca/x/whb

Message Ă  l’occasion de l’anniversaire du dĂ©cĂšs de Joyce Echaquan (28 septembre) et de la JournĂ©e nationale de la vĂ©ritĂ© et de la rĂ©conciliation (JournĂ©e du chandail orange, 30 septembre)

En ces deux journĂ©es de commĂ©moration et de rĂ©flexion, les membres de la FacultĂ© de mĂ©decine et des sciences de la santĂ© honorent la mĂ©moire de Joyce Echaquan et des victimes, survivants et survivantes des pensionnats au QuĂ©bec et ailleurs au Canada. Comme nous l’a rappelĂ© Konwahahawi (Sarah) Rourke, directrice du Programme autochtone des professions de la santĂ©, dans son message, mcgill.ca/x/whL, envoyĂ© aujourd’hui, ces deux journĂ©es interreliĂ©es illustrent de façon percutante l’impact nĂ©faste et durable de la colonisation sur l’éducation et les soins de santĂ© pour les peuples autochtones. La FacultĂ© continuera de collaborer avec les communautĂ©s, collĂšgues, apprenants et apprenantes autochtones pour, ensemble, crĂ©er des environnements culturellement sĂ©curisants oĂč tous peuvent enseigner, apprendre, soigner et recevoir des soins dans la compassion et le respect.

Pour cĂ©lĂ©brer et explorer le dynamisme de nos communautĂ©s autochtones, je vous invite Ă  assister aux activitĂ©s des Semaines de sensibilisation aux cultures autochtones de McGill, jusqu’au 2 octobre : mcgill.ca/x/whb

April is Autism Acceptance Month! To bring us closer to autism acceptance, please watch and share this short documentary (18 minutes) for powerful message of acceptance and sharing of Indigenous views on autism.

The Gift of Being Different, a short documentary, follows Grant Bruno as he navigates the world of autism. Grant is a parent to Autistic children and a PhD researcher exploring autism in First Nations communities. Grant is a registered member of nipsihkipahk (Samson Cree Nation), one of the reserves that makes up Maskwacis, Alberta. Through the film we learn his community views autism as a gift.

"National Ribbon Skirt Day is a Canadian holiday celebrating the ribbon skirt traditionally worn by Indigenous women. It was first celebrated on 4 January 2023.

The day was inspired by the experience of Isabella Kulak, an Indigenous girl who wore a ribbon skirt to a "formal dress day" at her elementary school but was told it did not meet the standard of "formal dress". This interaction prompted a reaction on social media, a march to the school, and a push for the federal government to recognize the ribbon skirt.

Senator Mary Jane McCallum put forward Bill S-219, An Act respecting a National Ribbon Skirt Day, in honor of Kulak. The bill received unanimous support in Parliament and was passed into law in December 2022."

"La journĂ©e nationale de la jupe Ă  ruban est une fĂȘte au Canada qui cĂ©lĂšbre la jupe Ă  rubans, traditionnellement portĂ©e par des femmes autochtones. Elle est cĂ©lĂ©brĂ©e depuis le 4 janvier 2023.

La journĂ©e fĂ»t inspirĂ©e par l’expĂ©rience d’Isabelle Kulak, une fille autochtone qui a portĂ© une jupe Ă  rubans pour ‘’une journĂ©e de tenue formelle’’ Ă  son Ă©cole primaire, mais qui c’était faire dire que cela ne rencontrait pas les standards de ‘’tenue formelle’’. Cette interaction a suscitĂ© une vague de rĂ©actions dans les mĂ©dias sociaux, une marche Ă  son Ă©cole et une pression pour que le gouvernement fĂ©dĂ©ral reconnaisse la jupe Ă  rubans.

La SĂ©natrice Mary Jane McCAllum a prĂ©sentĂ© le projet de loi S-219, une loi observant une journĂ©e nationale de la jupe Ă  rubans, en l’honneur de Kulak. Ce projet de loi reçu un support unanime au Parlement et la loi a Ă©tĂ© adoptĂ©e en dĂ©cembre 2022."

“A lot has been done. In my opinion, our focus should not be about what is wrong, but about what is right,” says Rourke, who describes herself as an idealist. “It’s about creating a safe space for Indigenous people and for non-Indigenous people, and learning how to be a good ally. Bundled arrows are stronger.”

Campus Outaouais, the western arm of the McGill School of Medicine, is one of the few institutions that can boast of owning a Monnet—though this one has two n’s. At 37, Caroline Monnet, who is of Franco-Anishinaabe (Algonquin) descent, has already established a reputation as one of the most vers...
