Every... Child... Matters... #orangeshirtday Show your support to indigenous people by wearing orange. C'mon, you can do it! A little history about residential schools: Residential schools were schools that started way back in the 1830's, before Canada was even a country. It started when European settlers came to Canada, only to find someone was already there waayyyy before them: the indigenous peoples. So, what they did was they tried to convert them into their European culture. What they did was bring in residential schools, which, in a nutshell, would force very young children (8-12 yrs) to change their culture, in a veerrrryyy brutal way. It's why children also died. That's why you might've heard about the graves of the schools found this past summer in Canada. So please show your support by wearing any orange shirt.
