September 30th has been declared Orange Shirt Day annually, in recognition of the harm the residential school system did to children's sense of self-esteem and wellbeing, and as an affirmation of our commitment to ensure that everyone around us matters.

Long Description

Orange Shirt Day is a legacy of the St. Joseph Mission (SJM) Residential School (1891-1981) Commemoration Project and Reunion events that took place in Williams Lake, BC, Canada, in May 2013. This project was the vision of Esketemc (Alkali Lake) Chief Fred Robbins, who is a former student himself. It brought together former students and their families from the Secwepemc, Tsilhqotin, Southern Dakelh and Statimc Nations along with the Cariboo Regional District, the Mayors and municipalities, School Districts and civic organizations in the Cariboo Region.

The events were designed to commemorate the residential school experience, to witness and honour the healing journey of the survivors and their families, and to commit to the ongoing process of reconciliation. Chief Justice Murray Sinclair challenged all of the participants to keep the reconciliation process alive.

Orange Shirt Day is a legacy of this project. As spokesperson for the Reunion group leading up to the events, former student Phyllis (Jack) Webstad told her story of her first day at residential school when her shiny new orange shirt, bought by her grandmother, was taken from her as a six-year old girl, and we came to the realization that all survivors had similar stories.

The annual Orange Shirt Day on September 30th 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: a discussion all Canadians can tune into and create bridges with each other for reconciliation. Orange Shirt Day is a day for survivors to be reaffirmed that they matter, and so do those that have been affected. Every Child Matters, even if they are an adult, from now on!

The date was chosen because it is the time of year in which children were taken from their homes to residential schools, and because it is an opportunity to set the stage for anti-racism and anti-bullying policies for the coming school year. It is an opportunity for First Nations, local governments, schools and communities to come together in the spirit of reconciliation and hope for generations of children to come.

It all started right here in the Cariboo, and as a result, Cariboo Chilcotin School District No. 27 has been chosen by the First Nations Education Steering Committee (FNESC) to pilot curriculum changes for all Grade 5 and Grade 10 students reflecting the residential school experience, to be implemented province-wide.

Resolutions have been passed in support of Orange Shirt Day by local governments, school districts, and First Nations in the Cariboo and beyond. Most recently the AFN Chiefs-in-Council passed a resolution declaring Orange Shirt Day a first step in reconciliation, and pledging to bring the message home as well as to the government of Canada and the churches responsible.

On this day of September 30th, we call upon humanity to listen with open hearts to the stories of survivors and their families, and to remember those that didnt make it.

We encourage all to post pictures of your event or activity, share your story, or simply enjoy others sharing theirs.

, Archbishop Michael Peers offered an apology to all the survivors of the Indian residential schools on behalf of the Anglican Church of Canada. Archbishop Peers said:

I accept and I confess before God and you, our failures in the residential schools. We failed you. We failed ourselves. We failed God.I am sorry, more than I can say that we were part of a system which took you and your children from home and family.I am sorry, more than I can say that we tried to remake you in our image, taking from you your language and the signs of your identity. I am sorry, more than I can say, that in our schools so many were abused physically, sexually, culturally and emotionally.On behalf of the Anglican Church of Canada, I present our apology.

In 2004, immediately prior to signing the historic first Public Safety Protocol with the Assembly of First Nations, RCMP Commissioner Zaccardelli veered from his corporate speech and issued an apology on behalf of the RCMP for their role in the Indian Residential School System. "We, I, as Commissioner of the RCMP, am truly sorry for what role we played in the residential school system and the abuse that took place in the residential system" On October 27, 2011 University of Manitoba president David Barnard apologized to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission for the institution's role in educating people who operated the residential school system. This is believed to be the first time a Canadian university has apologized for playing a role in residential schools.

This Is One The News Story's From Canada.

Its Heartbroken To Reading This Story

Tears form in Barney Williamss eyes and his hand rests over his heart when he speaks about how important a report on residential schools is for First Nations who grew up in the church run schools. "Many survivors are in terrible pain," Williams said, who himself is a residential school survivor and an elder with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission which released its interim report Friday.

He said the report is proof that many of the 150,000 aboriginal children who went the residential school systems suffered horrible neglect or physical and sexual abuse. Williams, 73, went to a residential school on the west coast of Vancouver Island, not far from his Tla o qui aht First Nation reserve, near Tofino, B.C. He was "not quite seven" when he was first sexually assaulted, he stated matter of factly. "Pedophiles have their victims. They used you for a while until they found another victim."

It's a story he's told all over Canada, but he said many still don't believe that something so horrible could be part of Canada's history. "A lot of people I talked to would say 'Well gee you know priests and nuns would never do that,' that's the belief right," he said. "I'm saying 'Well you know what? They did that because my abusers were both male and female."' That's why he feels the commission's recommendation to use the education system to tell students what happened is a key part of the report. "It's going to take a lot of work to convince the general public that this really happened. There is still doubt among the general population." Chairman says education needed Justice Murray Sinclair, the commission's chairman, said panel members were struck by the amount Canadians don't know about aboriginal people and the sorry legacy of residential schools.

"It has been through the use of an education system by the Canadian government that we have established and created the situation that exists within aboriginal communities and within aboriginal families in this country," Sinclair said at a news conference. "Also, it is through the educational system that non-aboriginal Canadians have been taught what they've come to learn about aboriginal people, or not learned about aboriginal people in this country. "We believe it is through the educational system that that information can be corrected, that that lack of information can be filled." Sinclair also called on the government to mount a public information campaign to educate Canadians. It took 130 years to get to this point in the process, Sinclair said, and it may take that long again for First Nations to recover from the abuse. Commissioner Marie Wilson told reporters that because the residential school stain was never taught in Canadian schools, no one knew what happened to generations of aboriginals. "We have all been the losers for lack of that knowledge and understanding. It has led us to a place of stereotypes and judgment." The commission was set up to help First Nations heal from abuses in the system that was "an assault" on aboriginal children, their families and their culture, the interim report said.

This Story From Untied States

Of American this Vary

Sad and Heartbroken

"A great general has said that the only good Indian is a dead one," Pratt said. "In a sense, I agree with the sentiment, but only in this: that all the Indian there is in the race should be dead. Kill the Indian in him, and save the man."

1970's he was a student at the Catholic run school, where children were required to board during the nine month school year, even though many, like Zephier, were from the surrounding community, the Yankton Sioux Tribe. This story is from Zephiers

The priests and nuns keys jangled as they walked, so we knew when they were coming. Everyone in the dorm would quiet down, because you never knew what theyd do. Sometimes theyd bring high school students or more priests and brothers to hold our arms and press our bodies against a metal pole in the center of the room. Then theyd beat us with straps and a two by four with handles, which they called the board of education.There were also regular whippings at noon. One day, my older brother, Loren, created a commotion at midday so just that once we little ones escaped the whipping. Because we showered together in one large room, we could always see that many of us were bruised black, blue and purple. The beatings were so frequent, we adapted to the pain and got used to living that way.The nuns were as vicious as the priests real brutes. I remember getting caught in the barbed wire around the top of the little boys playground. Id seen Loren go by and had tried to go over the fence to get to him. Once the nuns got me untangled, I got quite a beating. At night, theyd pretend theyd left us, and then stand in the dark corners of the dorm room, eerie in their hooded robes. The school was essentially a prison, with every door locked and total control of the children. We went in supervised groups from one secured place to another: to lunch, plays, church, the dorm, and so on. Even if you managed to get out of a dorm room or classroom, you couldnt run far, because at the end of each corridor was a locked floor-to-ceiling gate. The windows were covered with bars or chain-link grates, and the campus had barbed wire everywherealong sidewalks and even around the church itself.

As children, we didnt know their policy was to de Indianize us. We only knew we enjoyed one anothers company and would play games, such as migs, or marbles, that involved phrases in our language. Another student would inevitably run and tell Sister, and I would get a beating. At the time, they never explained my infraction. Just recently, the reality hit me hard: it was because I had so frequently spoken my language with my playmates. I suddenly understood why they snitch, often from more assimilated families, told and why I was punished so often. Another aspect of assimilation was taking away ribbon shirts and other culturally related clothes. Every year, I looked forward to wearing clothing my mother spent most of the summer sewing to make me look proud and colorful for school. But once I got there, those items were removed, and instead I wore clothes that were drab and not even mine. The child molesters would come and go, as the Church rotated them among the Indian missions. We children stood by each other as best we could, but for a child, it was a disturbing, sickening place to be. I have often wondered, where did the nuns and priests learn those things? My class, 1975, was the last to graduate from St. Pauls Indian Mission, which then passed to tribal control and became Marty Indian School. At our commencement, a medicine man, Pete Catches, was allowed for the first time to fill his sacred pipe on the altar and pray with us. Theres beauty in our traditional ways. Theres honor, honesty no lies, no judgment, no exaggeration. Its the true experience of life. Theres no interpreting of someone elses words, and no one else interpreting your experience. No one can tell you what is good or bad. Thats where the Church confused a lot of our people, conditioning them to think the traditional way of prayer was evil, the devils way. And if you didnt believe them, theyd beat you. After I filed my lawsuit against the Church with the blessings of my most revered supporter and hero, my father I started talking about my experience to sisters, brothers and cousins who had also attended St. Pauls. It was a relief to sit with them to share and to cry. We knew what we experienced was unfathomable to others.
