National Day: Fulfilling a Call to Action

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation became a federal statutory holiday on June 3, 2021, with Bill C-5. This directly fulfills Call to Action #80 from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, which urged the government to create a day to honour Survivors, their families, and communities. #Canada #NDTR #CdnPoli #Reconciliation 🇨🇦

CBC: The Orange Shirt Society has spent more than a decade promoting Orange Shirt Day to create awareness about the impacts of Indian Residential Schools, but it's now fighting back against companies that have appropriated the Orange Shirt with non-complaint designs.

"From the early 1800s through the mid-20th century, the U.S. Indian boarding school system sought to erase Native identity by forcibly removing children from their homes, languages, and cultures. Many endured neglect, abuse, and deep loss; thousands never made it back to their families. The generational trauma caused by these institutions continues to impact Native Nations today."

"Forced child labour was not an accident of the system—it was its foundation. For over seventy-five years, Youville relied on the unpaid labour of Indigenous children. They scrubbed floors, hauled water, wrung laundry through heavy mangles, farmed, carried honey buckets, and cooked. [...] The work was also meant to teach obedience and enforce control."

I noticed this sign posted on the fence of the memorial church, which hadn't been there in the spring. Juxtaposed next to the building that was healing for some while wounding for others, I feel like it embodies the way we move towards full reconciliation: navigating the both/and of so many human experiences; doing so imperfectly; yet, with a commitment to keep showing up to the conversation.

Because it was not okay; it was never okay. 6/7

#NDTR #NationalDayForTruthAndReconciliation

In Canada, even before #NationalDayForTruthAndReconciliation was established, Sept 30 was marked as #OrangeShirtDay, to acknowledge--and in the case of white people, to own up to & make amends for--the harm and trauma of #ResidentialSchools to Indigenous children and their families. It was not okay; it was never okay. 5/7

#NDTR

Sometimes that reality check comes in the form of a building reconstruction, and navigating the differing perspectives in that process. Sometimes it's renaming a neighbourhood or sports team, regardless of its sentimental value to white people. Sometimes it's returning silenced voices to our history books. Sometimes it's the discovery of over 1,000 unmarked graves of Indigenous children who never came home. 4/7

#NDTR #NationalDayForTruthAndReconciliation

I stood there on Treaty 7, the same treatied land where I grew up. Unbeknownst to me as a child, residential schools still operated alongside my own (I was in high school when the last one was shut down).

So as an adult, I think it's important that white people, and those of settler origins, are confronted with the realities of our past, so we can continue to move towards full and authentic reconciliation. 3/7

"On this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, which the federal government created to honour 'the children who never returned home and Survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities,' members of the Active History editorial collective offer suggestions on scholarship and resources they have found helpful in their own work and learning journeys."
