Support those who did not escape the enduring impact of the trauma. Communities across the United States and Canada commemorate Orange Shirt Day by hosting memorials, candlelight vigils, and walks. Speakers offer a historical perspective to raise awareness. Wear Orange on September 30 Orange Shirt Day began in 2013 when Phyllis (Jack) Webstad began telling the story of her first day at residential school near Williams Lake when her shiny new orange shirt, bought by her grandmother, was taken from her as a six-year-old girl. The annual Orange Shirt Day on September 30 opens the door to global conversation on all aspects of residential schools. It is an opportunity to create meaningful discussion about the effects of residential schools and the legacy they have left behind. “Wearing orange symbolizes the loss that we have gone through, it symbolizes the rage and anger we have felt from losing our children and having families torn apart,” Maffioli explains. “But orange also symbolizes hope, the truth and reconciliation that we can bring into our communities. What Indigenous people went through was genocide and people may think that it was in the past, but it still impacts Indigenous populations. We need to work together to make this better.” With her design now an important part of the local truth and reconciliation journey, Maffioli is honoured to play a small role in deeper understanding. “It makes me feel hopeful,” she says. “I have a lot of hope with our generation and the awareness we have of our Indigenous culture. There is still change that needs to be made, but I have trust in our youth, in our students and in our education that we will be able to make that change for the better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MMIW Awareness: Together We Can: Donate Information: Each $1 contribution from you has helped create a meaningful impact and raise awareness about the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW).
