National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is September 30th. 

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

Why an orange shirt? Phyllis (Jack) Webstad lived with her Granny, didn’t have much money, but her Granny made sure she had a nice new shirt for her first day at the “Mission School.” The orange shirt was shiny and bright. When Phyllis got to school, she was stripped of all of her clothes. They didn’t give her clothes back. 

The color orange  always reminded her of that day and how her feelings didn’t matter, how no one cared and how She felt like she was worth nothing. Little children were crying and no one cared.
