On the history of Orange Shirt Day and Residential Schools in Canada.
On September 30th Canadians recognize Orange Shirt Day as a time to reflect and bring forth discussion about a devastating part of our shared colonial history: The Indian Residential School system. In the US these schools were called: Indian Boarding Schools. The schools were in operation for more than a century. From the 1860s through the 1990s. The expressed purpose of these schools was: “Kill the Indian; Save the Man.” Children were forcibly removed from their homes and sent far off for years at a time to disrupt families and cultural practices as a mechanism of forced assimilation.
