YOUTH - Every Child Matters - Orange Shirt 2023
Youth sizes are true to size.
Wearing orange is a powerful symbol of solidarity and support for the survivors and descendants of the American Boarding/Residential school system, as well as a commitment to reconciliation and healing. It signifies recognition of the deep injustices endured by Native American communities, where children were forcibly separated from their families, stripped of their cultural heritage, and denied the right to speak their tribal languages. By donning orange, individuals not only acknowledge the intergenerational trauma inflicted by these schools but also stand as advocates for change, embracing the hope of a more inclusive and equitable future. Orange serves as a beacon of remembrance, resilience, and the unwavering commitment to ensuring that every child's culture and identity matter, emphasizing the importance of preserving and celebrating Indigenous heritage.
