Orange Shirt Day is tomorrow. It was founded in 2013 by Phyllis Jack Webstad. In 1973 she had a new item of clothing, an orange shirt, taken from her on her first day at a residential school. She was 6 years old. #OrangeShirtDay #AbLeg pic.twitter.com/W8ZLqCgQXV

Phyllis Webstad was 6 years old when her clothing was violently stripped away at SJM. Many of my family and community members went to, died or survived that genocide institution. I am here bc of survivors endurance of colonial persecution. Take heed. This is not a selfie moment.

For 6,259 children And counting, that never made it home stolen by Residential Schools, I drum in a forbidden hallowed place to show the world that even individually - we can help in reconciliation.

This is our first Truth and Reconciliation day. I will be listening, reading and hopefully learning. There are a couple of local events I will be attending with my mom - two old broads trying to learn new things.
