On October 6, 2023, Indigenous Engagement and Communications and the Centre for Human Rights Research hosted An Event in Honour of the National Day of Action for MMIWG2S+.

We were honoured to host Dr. Karine Duhamel for a talk entitled "She is Sacred: Reflections on the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls."

Karine Duhamel is Anishinaabe-Métis and a member of Red Rock First Nation. She holds a Bachelor of Arts from Mount Allison University, a Bachelor of Education from Lakehead University and a Master’s degree and PhD in History from the University of Manitoba. From 2018 to 2019, she was Director of Research for the historic National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, drafting the Final Report, directing the Legacy Archive, and managing the Forensic Document Review Project. She is now Director of Indigenous Strategy for the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, working to implement the strategic plan focused on supporting Indigenous research and researchers.

Following Dr. Duhamel's talk, we participated in a Laughing Yoga workshop with Dawn Chartrand.
