May 5 is the annual National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, also known as Red Dress Day. It comes at a time when there are questions over funding for MMIWG initiatives and advocacy organizations.

That is one of our topics for this week's Truth & Politics panel.

Also on the panel this week, after more than four decades, the Gathering of Nations has had its last dance. Plus, the minister of Indigenous Services says the clock is ticking for the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations.

Joining host Dennis Ward to discuss are Jennifer Laewetz of Paskwâw Strategies and Niigaan Sinclair with the Winnipeg Free Press.
