In accordance with McGill University’s Charter of Students’ Rights, students in this course have the right to submit in English or in French any written work that is to be graded. Therefore, papers in this series may be published in either language. The papers in this series are distributed free of charge and are available in PDF format on the CHRLP’s website. Papers may be downloaded for personal use only. The opinions expressed in these papers remain solely those of the author(s). They should not be attributed to the CHRLP or McGill University.

    This article and linked websites contains subject matter that may be disturbing to some visitors, especially to Survivors of the Residential School System. Please call the crisis line if you or someone you know is triggered while reading the content of this article and linked websites. Why do we have orange ribbons? On May 27, 2021, Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation recovered the remains of 215 children using ground- penetrating radar at the Kamloops Indian Residential EVERY School. Some children were as young as 3-years-old. Since then, there have been other recoveries across Canada. This number is expected to grow, but to date, the following have been recovered: CHILD Kamloops, BC – 215 Brandon, MB – 104 Regina, SK – 38 MATTERS The Mission at Muskowekwan, SK – 35 Carlisle, PA – 180 Cowessess First Nation, SK – 751 We placed ribbons to acknowledge the unmarked graves of these recovered Indigenous children on the properties of government funded Indian Residential Schools across Canada. These orange ribbons correspond with Orange Shirt Day. The orange ribbons and shirts are not enough. They are great ways of showing support, but without an understanding of the history and lasting impacts of Residential schools, it diminishes the purpose of the support. That is why we have included information, support lines, ways to show support, donation links, and educational links. Please take the time to read these resources as it is just as important as showing support. What is Orange Shirt Day? Orange Shirt Day is a legacy of this project. A spokesperson for the Reunion group leading up to the events, former student Phyllis (Jack) Webstad, tells the story of her first day at residential school.
