Today is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Here’s your reminder to wear 🧡orange🧡 to commemorate and acknowledge First Nations people who attended residential schools across Canada. It’s also important to see and hear the people who presently stand before us telling the stories and advocating for the truth to be brought to light. Many living First Nations people experience intergenerational effects of these schools, which makes this day tremendously hard for many people. ⁣ Please show your support in whichever way you can. That may be by wearing orange, sharing educational resources online, donating to the various Indigenous organizations (Orange Shirt Society, IRSS Society, Legacy of Hope, Indspire), and reading the TRC Calls to Action. ⁣ ⁣ National Indian Residential School Crisis Line: 1-866-925-4419⁣ Hope for Wellness Helpline: 1-855-242-3310⁣ Native Youth Crisis Line: 1-877-209-1266⁣ ⁣ #NationalDayofTruthandReconcilation #September30 #EveryChildMatters #OrangeShirtDay #CanadianHistory #TRCCanada #WearOrange #IndianResidentialSchools #RememberHonourAct #repost Author & Artist: Emily Kewageshig
