The Cherokee community is grateful for the blessings and challenges that each season brings. This is modern Native American life as told by best-selling Cherokee author Traci Sorell. The word otsaliheliga (oh-jah-LEE-hay-lee-gah) is used by members of the Cherokee Nation to express gratitude. Beginning in the fall with the new year and ending in summer, follow a full Cherokee year of celebrations and experiences.

Understanding September 30: National Day for Truth and Reconciliation & Orange Shirt Day

Every year on September 30, communities across Canada pause to mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day. It is a time to listen, learn, and remember the Indigenous children, families, and communities impacted by residential schools.

Why Do We Wear Orange?

The tradition of wearing orange began with Phyllis Webstad, a Northern Secwepemc woman and residential school survivor.

When Phyllis was six years old, she was excited to wear a bright new orange shirt given to her by her grandmother for her first day at the Saint Joseph Mission Residential School. When she arrived, school authorities took her shirt away and replaced it with a uniform.

Today, wearing an orange shirt is a symbol that Every Child Matters—and a promise that no child’s identity or voice should ever be taken away.

What is Orange Shirt Day?

Orange Shirt Day originated from the story of Phyllis Webstad, a Northern Secwepemc woman who had her new orange shirt taken away on her first day at a residential school. Today, wearing orange serves as a powerful symbol of remembrance, healing, and our collective commitment to ensuring every child feels safe, valued, and respected at school.
