Kwey Kwey,\u00a0She:kon, Taanshi, Ullaquut and Hello,<\/p>\n

September 30 is Orange Shirt Day, Canada\u2019s National Day for\u00a0Truth and Reconciliation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It is an annual day\u00a0of remembrance to mark the history and intergenerational impacts of residential and day schools and to honour their survivors, including\u00a0Phyllis Webstad<\/a>, whose story sparked a national movement.<\/p>\n

The legacy of Canada\u2019s residential school system\u00a0lies\u00a0not in our distant past. It\u00a0is recent enough that some current Carleton students are survivors. Intergenerational trauma is felt by many First Nations, Inuit and Metis people.<\/p>\n

Carleton will fly an Every Child Matters flag and community members are encouraged to wear orange Every Child Matters shirts to commemorate the day, and to take time to meaningfully reflect on the responsibilities we all have in conciliation in Canada\u00a0\u2014\u00a0on Sept. 30 and beyond.<\/p>\n

Carleton is committed to conciliation, as outlined in\u00a0Kin\u00e0m\u00e0gawin<\/a>, a revitalized long-term Indigenous strategy with 41 calls to action to make our university a more welcoming space for current and future Indigenous students and faculty members. All Carleton students, staff and faculty are encouraged to stay informed and engaged and to read the recently released\u00a0Kin\u00e0m\u00e0gawin Progress Report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This year, for Orange Shirt Day, we have created a\u00a0dedicated web page<\/a>\u00a0with background information as well as links to articles and events, including a\u00a0Lived Experience Luncheon<\/a>\u00a0with Elder Albert Dumont on Sept. 28 and an\u00a0unveiling ceremony<\/a> for The Journey of the Baby Vamp: Honouring the Lives of the Missing Children From Residential Schools on Sept. 30.<\/p>\n

Ongoing learning and allyship by non-Indigenous people are critical to\u00a0conciliation.<\/p>\n

To support this journey, Carleton\u2019s Centre for Indigenous Support and Community Engagement is continuing its\u00a0Kin\u00e0m\u00e0gawin Indigenous Learning Certificate<\/a>\u00a0program this fall and winter. Participants in these workshops discuss anti-Indigenous racism in Canada, institutional anti-Indigenous racism and education, and Indigenous student experiences, among other subjects.<\/p>\n

For Indigenous members of the Carleton community who are struggling on this day, there are resources available from the\u00a0Centre for Indigenous Support and Community Engagement<\/a>. Indigenous counselors are available to help. Or please call the Residential School Survivor Support Line at 1-866-925-4419, which is available 24-hours a day, seven days a week.<\/p>\n

To all members of the Carleton community, please take time on Orange Shirt Day \u2014\u00a0and every day \u2014\u00a0to\u00a0meaningfully reflect, learn and take action towards conciliation in Canada.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n
