Thank you for those who came out to bead today for Orange T-Shirt day, and to Judith Keesic for sharing your knowledge with us. Miigwetch to Phyllis Webstad from Stswecemʼc Xgetʼtem First Nation, who founded this day of remembrance.
Today especially we remember and honor residential ‘school’ survivors, and the children who did not survive the genocidal colonial project that initiated and maintained the carceral programs that are now known as residential schools. This colonial project is ongoing and did not end with the closure of the last residential school in 1996, but continues to be enacted through the child welfare system, Land dispossession projects, the prison system, and legal policies like mandatory medical evacuation.
Wearing orange today is an early step that honors and remembers Indigenous children who were stolen and incarcerated by the Canadian nation state and by the church. It is a day of grief, of mourning, and of love, and is an opportunity to reflect on the work that has yet to be done. It is a commitment to truth, which is a pre-condition of reconciliation, a state that not yet been achieved. We will continue to call on all levels of government to implement the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action.
The 94 Calls to Action live in the links in our bio year-round. Today we encourage you to read through them and think about how you can commit yourselves to one of them now.
Thank you, Miigwetch

Dear Trent Graduate Students,
You’re invited to join the Trent Graduate Student Association and Judith Keesic for a beading workshop on September 30th at Bagnani Hall in honor of Orange Shirt Day and Phyllis Webstad’s legacy.
Together we will learn to create a beautiful piece of bead work in the shape of an orange t-shirt to recognize the ongoing impacts of Canadas residential ‘school’ system on Indigenous communities across Turtle Island.
The workshop will run from 9am-11am, and supplies and tea will be provided for you.
The cost of the workshop is covered by us, but the registration is limited so sign up now!
You can register at the link in our bio.
