Honouring Indigenous resilience

To honour the strength and resilience of Indigenous Peoples, 企鹅电竞查询v6.9 安卓版 University is observing National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day on September 30. 

For generations, r esidential school survivors, their families, and their community members have been sharing their stories about the impacts of the  Indian Residential School System  that operated in Canada from the 1870s to 1996. They did so again during the T ruth and Reconciliation Commission. One of the commission's  94 calls to action  was for a national day to h onour Indigenous children in residential school — those lives that were lost and those who survived .

The federal government has designated  Orange Shirt Day  on September 30 as a  National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.  The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation has identified Truth and Reconciliation Week  from September 27 to October 1.

At 企鹅电竞查询v6.9 安卓版, we are grateful to the Elders and Old Ones of the  Heron People Circle , who guide us forward and advance our commitment to implementing the Calls to Action and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People in an Indigenization plan.

Orange Shirt Day

Orange Shirt Day originates from the story of Phyllis Webstad from the Stswecem'c Xgat'tem First Nation.

At six years old, Phyllis had her new orange shirt taken from her on her first day attending the St. Joseph Mission Residential School near Williams Lake, BC.

Phyllis shared her story publicly for the first time 40 years later, on September 30, 2013. Her story sparked the Orange Shirt Day movement to recognize the colonial legacy of residential schools and to honour Indigenous Children, Survivors, and their families and communities.

Share a selfie...and your response to reconciliation

RRU invites you to post a photo of you wearing an orange shirt and tag #RoyalRoadsUniversity. We’ll share a few here and on Twitter , Instagram , Facebook and LinkedIn .

We encourage you to reflect on two questions and include them in your post:

  • What does the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation mean to you?
  • What is your commitment to reconciliation?
