Orange Shirt Day : every child matters / Phyllis Webstad & the Orange Shirt Society.

Webstad, Phyllis. (Author). Orange Shirt Society. (Added Author).

Summary:

A special abridged version of the award-winning book, Orange Shirt Day: September 30th. Orange Shirt Day, observed annually on September 30th, is also known as the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. It is an official day to honour Residential School Survivors and their families, and to remember the children who did not come home. What was initially envisioned as a way to keep the conversations going about all aspects of Residential Schools in Williams Lake and the Cariboo Region of British Columbia, Canada, has now expanded into a movement across Turtle Island and beyond. Orange Shirt Day: September 30th aims to create champions who will walk a path of reconciliation and promote the message that 'Every Child Matters'. This award-winning book explores a number of important topics including the historical, generational, and continual impacts of Residential Schools on Indigenous Peoples, the journey of the Orange Shirt Day movement, and how you can effectively participate in the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. With end-of-chapter reflection questions and a series of student art submissions, readers are guided to explore how they, and others, view and participate in Residential School reconciliation. Medicine Wheel Publishing publishes culturally authentic Indigenous books that invite all children, youth and adults to engage and participate in culture with authenticity and respect. In all of Medicine Wheel Publishing books, every word and image has the explicit approval of the Indigenous Storytellers and Elders connected to the story. Through an award-winning relationship-based publishing program, Medicine Wheel Publishing offers a process that is culturally sound and authentic.
