Orange Shirt Day is a movement that officially began in 2013 but it honours a story from 1973 when six-year-old Phyllis Webstad entered the St. Joseph Mission Residential School, outside of Williams Lake, BC. She was wearing a brand new orange shirt for her first day of school but the Mission Oblates quickly stripped her of her new shirt and replaced it with the school’s institutional uniform. Indian residential schools operated across Canada between 1831 and 1996. So now the orange shirt has become a symbol for all the survivors of residential schools and the loss of identity that they suffered across Turtle Island. #orangeshirtday #reconcilation #culturalawareness #assimilation
