Miigwech Phyllis for your bravery, resilience and the sharing of your story.
Thank you for sharing your story. ❤
its the one day per year where all colonialized whitey students across canada should find a native student in your class, get on your knees and offer your lunch money while begging for forgiveness
Every child matters because when the kids passed away at the residential school some dead and Sunday and I love orange shirt, cause it’s a special day. Remember the kids from residential school and that and people that didn’t I don’t know how funeral was from the past.
This is a very embarrassing part of our history, but we have vowed never to do it again, R.I.P. to all the children who died in those horrible schools.😞😔😣😖😭
Phyllis you matter to me, I made a orange feather at school with a nice word. I hope your happy and feeling alright. you matter…
Hi phyiles we learned about you in my school called pehdan hill school hope you live nice and I fell bad I wear orange shirt ever Monday and on September 30 stay well naniosns
I’m a French teacher in the United States and I support you. My grandmother told me stories about her great grandmother who was Indigenous. I don’t know which band she was from because it wasn’t talked about. Where I live in West Virginia, it was ILLEGAL for any Indigenous to own land until the 1960s. I know that I have no rights to call myself indigenous, please don’t misinterpret what I am saying. On my own I have tried to learn about indigenous cultures in general and I am very saddened to learn about the abuses. I am sad to learn about the missionaries condemning the beautiful relationship that the indigenous have with the Creator and the Earth. I teach my students about Orange Shirt Day and the cultural genocide propagated by the colonials. My heart breaks for those children stolen from their families who return broken and those who never made it home. Every. Child. Matters.
After hearing this story again, I have become more clear on what I must do. I am in the process of ordering 100 or more orange shirts that I was planning to sell and give away, however the selling part was bothering me. Instead of putting a price on them I believe, to honor this story, I must give them to anyone that wants one. Since I live below the poverty line, I would be limited in what I can do, so to allow others to help, I will take donations from those taking the shirts so I can make more available to others. Thankyou Phyllis Webstad for sharing this story and being such and inspiration to us all.
Amazing strength. 🧡🧡🧡🧡
i feel bad for you 😢
Thank you for having the courage to share your story. While these stories bring much pain and grief, they need to be told. We can not allow history to repeat itself. I will be showing this video to my students, and will actively work on truth and reconciliation.
Thank you for your story Phyllis and I can't imagine the horrors you and others have lived. The orange shirt has not only made your stories accessible for adults, but especially for my and others' children, with whom I've shared your story. Since telling them, my daughter often speaks about it, listens to First Nations music, watches traditional dances, etc. One colour reached the entire nation and has been the most effective tool to have us connect. You are loved.
Thank you for sharing this story 🥹
Lots of holes in her story. The nuns were gone by the time she was staying at St Joseph's which was converted to a student hostel, and she went to public school at William's Lake. Some of the staff were Indigenous and they may have taken her shirt and returned it when she left a year later, or it might not have fit her anymore and was passed on to a smaller child.
Her story is not factual.
It was impossible for Nuns to take away her shirt, all Nuns had left the school years before she was there.
Actually, a Native person probably took her orange shirt to be cleaned and later returned to her.
Why doesn't she mention that 9% of the teaching staff at residential schools were indigenous by 1961? In fact, her teacher remembers her as a happy student. Why don't they interview her?
In another interview, she tells how her Native mother and White father abandoned her, She was raised by her grandmother, and her Native uncles beat her when she was at the reservation.
If you want Truth and reconciliation you have to tell the entire truth and interview everyone.
MESSAGE: You present day Canadians are guilty and responsible for others past misdeeds and must embrace this distortion of the facts of life at the turn of the century.
Happy NDP day!
Thank you, Phyllis, for sharing your story. ❤ I care!
Kchi wliwni for sharing your story. 🖤🖤🖤❤🧡🧡🧡 every year we honor our future generations and those lost and hurt by hate
sorry for your loss, it must be hard on you
Excellent video. My heart breaks for Phyllis and all those who were inflicted by the scourge of residential schools. And I am so sorry.
Granny should have prepared you that you would be wearing a uniform.😢
What kind of people would lie about dead children just to sell orange t-shirts? A people without a soul, that's what. A people with no sense of the sacred, no honor, no decency. I will never be reconciled with liars.
thank you for sharing the stories of you and your family…sending you love
Thank you dear heart.
Thank you for sharing, I am near your heart
