Sept 30th, Orange Shirt Day is recognized by First Nations around the world about the impact of Residential Schools. In Wisconsin, there were 12 boarding schools that attempted to assimilate First Nations children from the 1800s until the 1930s (and longer). First Nations children were taken from their families and sent to residential schools to live. They were forced to cut their hair, speak only English, and wear specific clothes or face abuse. Orange Shirt Day provides a day of healing, where survivors can be reaffirmed that they matter, and so do all those that have been affected. Wearing an orange shirt on September 30th is one way to let our First Nations students and communities know that they matter! Submitted by Wanda Anton-First Nations Cultural Specialist. The Story Behind the Day: Phyllis Webstad’s Story
As we begin our day, we acknowledge and honor the original inhabitants of our various nations of Wisconsin. As we currently reside on the traditional unceded territory of the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin, and the Ho-Chunk Nation, we acknowledge these nations, people, and communities both past and present, as well as future generations. This acknowledgement demonstrates our sustained commitment to building authentic relationships and coalitions with all members of these Nations and communities.
Word of the Day: Filial, adjective, of, relating to, or befitting a person’s child
