Description: January 4th is National Ribbon Skirt Day! Wikipedia says: National Ribbon Skirt Day in Canada celebrates the ribbon skirt traditionally worn by Indigenous women. The day takes place on 4 January and was first celebrated in 2023. The day was inspired by the experience of Isabella Kulak, an Indigenous girl in Saskatchewan who was shamed for wearing a ribbon skirt to a "formal dress day" at her elementary school. Prompted by Kulak's experience, Manitoba Senator Mary Jane McCallum put forward a bill in Parliament to recognize National Ribbon Skirt Day, which received unanimous support and was passed into law in December 2022.
