“In 1976, Webstad wore a present from her grandmother, an orange shirt, on her first day at a residential school at St. Joseph's Mission, in Williams Lake, B.C. The shirt was taken from her by school officials and never returned. “
“Webstad founded Orange Shirt Day on Sept. 30, 13 years ago, to honour Indigenous children who were forced to attend residential schools.”

Huge #OrangeShirt #memorial to honour all the native kids' lives lost in the cruel #ResidentialSchool system.
On the site of one of the worst in Canada - #Namgis territory, #AlertBay. It was called St. Michael's Indian Residential School. It was demolished in 2015. #Umista Cultural Center sits on the old site. #Indigenous peoples have reclaimed their land there & are trying to heal from colonial abuses.
We have racists in #Canada who are currently dishonouring the victims of residential schools by denying survivors' histories & saying mass graves are a lie. This is so wrong. We owe the ones who died & the living survivors support & reparations. Please don't let folks use denialism around you - confront them & stand up for the victims & survivors.

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.

Happy TRC day in Canada!!! Please learn about an Indigenous culture near you and how you can help the reconciliation process today. Here is a great website about the Metis which has a great section on "Métis Scrip". Do you know what scrip was and who it was given to? Click the link below to begin your learning journey!

Look at all that orange down there. The kids get it. Why are so many others ignorant about it.
Watching the lebreton park show via CBC Gem from my back yard, knowing that @WTL is part of the amazing behind the scenes folk who are there making it happen.
Wore my #orangeshirt from the indigenous store in the Byward Market when out in public this morning, as I have very mixed feelings about today.
A ceremony I attended and recorded on video for memorising missing and murdered indigenous women and children.

Mistodon: to you, it's just an #OrangeShirt that AdeptApril has illustrated in #ANSIart. But if you're in Canada, the shirt represents the imposition of the #ResidentialSchool system on Indigenous children for around a century and a half, removing them from the care of their parents and extinguishing their language and culture in a slow-moving campaign of genocide. We wear the symbolic garment today in a gesture in support of #TruthAndReconcilation.
In my neck of the woods today is #NationalDayForTruthAndReconciliation
It is not lost on me the irony that bankers and politicians have made a long weekend of it for themselves but not for the people who could use the time to connect with their community.
If you would like to learn more about a community that could use help, May I suggest checking out:
Today is also regarded as #OrangeShirt day. No, it was not that long ago that residential schools were closed
On the grounds of the now demolished St. Michael's residential school.
