Sept. 30 is upon us once again, the fourth year this day will be observed as a time to reflect on the history of colonialism, and its ongoing impacts, on the Indigenous Peoples and communities in what is now called Canada.
This day first became recognized as Orange Shirt Day by grassroots organizers in 2013, when Canadians honour the Survivors of Residential Schools and acknowledge the intergenerational effects of these institutions on Indigenous Peoples.
