Orange Shirt Day, September 30, is a day to honor and uphold Survivors and intergenerational Survivors of the Indian residential school system, and to commemorate those who didn’t return home. KBIC has it's own story to tell regarding residential schools and we are no exception. One day I went to Assinins and found rocks very near by to the orphanage that used to be in operations years ago. I collected my rock relatives and had done so in a good way by offering my asemaa. That day while doing this, migizi was watching over us as we carefully chose our rocks. He watched the entire time we did this. It was such a special moment for us.

Our rock relatives have been smudged and are prepared to be painted upon. The goal is to paint the rocks in orange. Then let dry. Then paint a black feather. Under the feather we will write out "They Found Us".

Fact regarding the Orange shirt: Orange Shirt Day references a real orange shirt taken from a residential school survivor
Now an adult, Phyllis Webstad still remembers the new orange shirt that her grandmother bought for her when she was six years old. She wore it proudly on her first day at a church-run residential school in Williams Lake, BC. But then school authorities stripped her of her clothes, cut her hair and took her shirt away. She never got it back.
“The color orange has always reminded me of how my feelings didn’t matter, how no one cared,” she writes. “I went to a treatment center for healing when I was 27 and have been on this healing journey since then. I finally get it, that the feeling of worthlessness and insignificance, ingrained in me from my first day at the mission, affected the way I lived my life for many years.”
