Anishinabek Nation Grand Council Chief Reg Niganobe is encouraging all Canadians to consider wearing orange this Canada Day and make the effort to learn about Canadian history.
He says we know the history, we have heard the stories, and he says more gravesites will come to light.
Gimaa Niganobe says take the time to learn about Indian Residential Schools and Indigenous history in this Canadian Nation especially if a survivor chooses to share their story.
Anishnabek Nation says the orange shirt now symbolizes how the residential school system took away the Indigenous identity of its students and opens the door to a global conversation on all aspects of residential schools.
