first_nations_freaksSept. 30th was (Orange Shirt Day)[https://orangeshirtday.org/].
It's a day where people... wear orange shirts. Not just to be cool and get into pumpkin season. It's to raise awareness for residential school survivers and descendants of. All the kids who were taken or sent to boarding schools and either killed or put through all kinds of abuse.
These things forever change the people and their families. It affects people generations later who have likely been deprived of experiencing everything about one's Native culture. Among other issues.
Is anyone else out there a survivor or know anyone?
Also, many NDN shoppes and organizations are fundraising this time of year.
