🧡 Orange Shirt Day holds a special meaning for me, and I’m proud to wear orange and help raise awareness.

My dad attended a boarding school as a child, and unfortunately, he does not have good memories or stories from his experience.

I think many people picture Indigenous boarding schools as something that happened many, many years ago. The reality is that they were not nearly as long ago as many people realize. When I tell people that my dad went to a boarding school, they are often shocked.

My daughter and I wear our orange shirts today to honor the children who experienced these schools, to remember those who never made it home, and to help make sure their stories are not forgotten. 🧡

Thank you to the Jordan Native American Program for providing these shirts for Orange Shirt Day. I loved getting to make each one a little more personal for my kids and alter them to fit their individual styles. They each have their own personality, so of course they needed their own version of an orange shirt. 🧡

Orange Shirt Day is a day to remember the children who were taken from their families and communities and impacted by the Indian boarding school system. We remember the children who never came home, the survivors, their families, and the generations who continue to carry the effects of what happened.

As a Native mom, this day carries a lot of meaning for me. I want my kids to grow up knowing where they come from, knowing the history of our people, and understanding why remembering matters.

Today we wear orange to remember the children, honor the survivors, and make sure their stories are not forgotten.

🧡 Every Child Matters. 🧡

Hello! I'm Ariana Haws, the artist that made the t-shirt designs and I want to share pictures of my family! The 4 people are me, my mom, and 2 of my brothers. Our tribe is the Wilton Rancheria Sacramento River Valley Miwok in California! The other picture is my mom's uncle and cousin! They aren't native, but they wanted to support the cause and my design!
