Today is Orange Shirt Day in Canada.
Please go to orangeshirtday.org to get the information on how this day began, straight from the source. A link’s in my bio.
The effects of Canada’s Residential School System on Indigenous Peoples in Canada must be studied, acknowledged and reconciled.
29 days ago, on September 1, 2020, the Government of Canada “recognized the national historic significance of the Residential School System as a tragic and defining event in Canadian history.”
Two former residential schools, one in Manitoba and one in Nova Scotia, were designated as national historic sites.
