ALT A promotional poster for National Indigenous Peoples Day by DAWN Canada featuring an electronic tablet displaying the cover from the May issue of KCI-NIWESQ, the Native Women's Association of Canada Magazine. The cover features a photo of Judi Johnny, an Indigenous disability advocate wearing a black jacket and hat. The banner includes a quote from the issue, "Disability is a spectrum, and all human beings will experience some form of it in their lifetimes. But disproportionately more Indigenous people than non-Indigenous people identify as living with disability. Although support for celebrating conditions is a human right, many First Nations, Inuit, and Métis say there are societal actions that prevent them from accessing the assistance that could help them lead normal, happy, and productive lives."
