    Social 7 - Orange Shirt Day

    Orange Shirt Day is held annually on September 30th to recognize the legacy of residential schools in Canada and honor Indigenous children who were taken from their homes. It commemorates Phyllis Webstad's experience of having her orange shirt, a gift from her grandmother, taken away on her first day at a residential school. The residential school system operated for over 160 years and resulted in cultural genocide, physical and sexual abuse, and thousands of deaths. While the last school closed in 1996, the intergenerational trauma continues today. Orange Shirt Day aims to educate about this history and ensure that "every child matters."

    Orange Shirt Day

    September 30th

    What is it?

    Discuss with a shoulder buddy what you know about Orange


    Shirt Day
    Orange Shirt Day

    September 30th marks the day that thousands of


    Indigenous children have been taken from their
    homes and were forced to attend Residential
    Schools in Canada

    The last residential school closed in 1996, just 24


    years ago
    The Residential School System was active in Canada
    for more than 160 years, accounting for the forced
    assimilation upward of 150,000 children.

    Canada had 80 residential schools. The last residential


    school closed in 1996, just 22 years ago. The Canadian
    government followed a policy of “Kill the Indian in the
    child.” We tried to isolate and remove children from
    the influences of their families and community.

    What to look?

    - What happened to her?


    - Why is the Orange shirt important in this video?
    - What happened after?
    The Effect of Residential Schools
    - It resulted in mass cultural genocide, physical, and
    sexual abuse, and the deaths of thousands of
    Indigenous children.
    - You might be thinking … what is genocide?

    Well… it is where acts are committed with the intent to


    destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or
    religious group. These acts fall into five categories: Killing
    members of the group, causing serious bodily or mental
    harm to members of the group, forcibly transferring
    children of the group to another group
    The Effects of Residential Schools

    After it happened: September 30th was reclaimed as a day of


    education and resilience, with many cultural centers offering
    virtual and in person information for schools, classrooms,
    families, and communities.
