Orange Shirt Day is a day when people wear orange shirts to remember and honor Indigenous children who were sent to residential schools. It's a way to show support for survivors of these schools and to recognize the harm caused by them.

Closing and Legacy

Long lasting Trauma

Abuse and Neglect

Residential schools were government sponsored institutions in many countries, including Canada and the United States, designed to assimilate Indigenous children into Euro-American culture. Children were taken from their families and communities, forbidden from speaking their native languages, and subjected to cultural erasure and abuse. These schools had devastating impacts on Indigenous communities, causing intergenerational trauma that persists today, for example, Orange shirt day.
