Orange shirt day is a time to commemorate those who have survived Canada's residential schools. The orange shirt was chosen as the symbol of this day when Phyllis (Jack) Webstad told her story of her first day at residential school. She remembers arriving in a shiny orange shirt, which was purchased by her grandmother. The shirt was taken when Phyllis was six years-old. Orange shirt day is commonly held on September 30th. Due to the excavations of Canada's residential schools, we wear orange everyday to remember the children being found. To learn more about Orange Shirt day, go to https://www.orangeshirtday.org

90% of each pin order will be donated to the Native Women's Shelter of Montréal. The NWSM provides an abundance of services to the Indigenous community, such as: food, shelter, therapy, sweat lodge ceremonies, etc. Also, they are in their second stage of their housing project located in Little Burgundy of Montréal. This will provide 23 housing units for Indigenous women and their children. If you would like to learn more about the NWSM and the housing project, click here: http://www.nwsm.info/miyoskamin
