In Canada today it is National Truth and Reconciliation Day. This is a day that is dedicated to remembering the atrocities and multigenerational effects of the Canadian Indian Residential School System. It was originally known as Orange Shirt Day and is inspired by the experience of Phyllis Webstad when she was 6 years old attending a residential school for the first time. Her clothing was taken on her first day and never returned. This included the new orange shirt that her grandmother had bought her. You can find out more about Phyllis Webstad and Irange shirt day here: https://orangeshirtday.org/.
In honour of Phyllis and all those that experienced the Indian Residential School System I invite you to tat this Orange Short Pattern with me today.
