Today is #orangeshirtday do you know what that means? Orange Shirt Day is an event, created in 2013, designed to educate people and promote awareness in Canada about the Indian residential school system and the impact it has had on Indigenous communities for over a century—an impact recognized as a cultural genocide, and an impact that continues today.
-
“Sept 30th is about remembering - and we are grateful to Phyllis Webstad, who gave her individual story to Canadians, allowing it to serve as an emblem of the erasure and trauma indigenous communities across North America have experienced and continue to endure. Let the conversations at your dinner table tonight be about making space for all sorts of ways of being, instead of suppressing difference.”
