The origins of the orange shirt holiday can be traced back to a young girl named Phyllis Webstad, who was a member of the Stswecem'c Xgat'tem First Nation in Canada. In 1973, when Phyllis was just six years old, she was taken from her family and sent to a residential school, where she was stripped of her clothes and given an orange shirt to wear.
For Phyllis, the orange shirt represented the loss of her identity and culture, and it had a profound impact on her life. In 2013, Phyllis shared her story at a residential school commemoration event, and her experience inspired the creation of the orange shirt holiday.
Today, the orange shirt holiday is celebrated across the United States, and it is a time for people to honor the experiences of Indigenous children who were forced to attend residential schools. People of all ages come together to buy and wear orange shirts, and the color orange has become a symbol of reconciliation and healing.
For many people, the orange shirt holiday is more than just a tradition – it is a way to show support for Indigenous communities and raise awareness about the lasting impact of residential schools. As people wear their orange shirts with pride, they are sending a powerful message of hope and solidarity, and they are helping to create a brighter future for all.
