TOMORROW September 30th is National Day of Remembrance for U.S. Indian Boarding School Survivors / Every child matters.
By coming together, we can honor survivors, amplify their voices, share their stories, and support their healing journeys. Below are five simple yet meaningful ways to observe the Day of Remembrance for Indian Boarding Schools (Orange Shirt Day🧡🟠):
1. Wear Orange – Put on an orange shirt to honor survivors and remember those who never came home. Share why you’re wearing it to spark conversations.
2. Learn and Share – Take time to learn about the history and impact of Indian boarding schools, then share resources or stories with friends, family, or on social media.
3. Support Survivors – Donate to the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition (NABS) to help fund truth, healing, and justice efforts.
4. Create Space for Reflection – Observe a moment of silence, light a candle, or attend a remembrance event in your community.
5. Uplift Native Voices – Read books, listen to podcasts, or watch films created by Native authors and filmmakers, and recommend them to others
