The Keewatin Tribal Council will be holding their 7th annual Orange Shirt Day event tomorrow to commemorate the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
Amelia Moose, a Cultural Support Worker with KTC’s Indian Residential School Program, says it will be a full day of activities including a memory quilt exercise, a round dance, and a giveaway.
Moose adds there will be keynote and guest speakers presenting throughout the day on topics like land-based education, missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, and how residential schools impacted the Two-Spirit community.
KTC’s Orange Shirt Day event will begin tomorrow morning with a pipe ceremony at 7:30 at the Ma-Mow-We-Tak Friendship Centre.
