In 1973, at the age of 6, Phyllis Webstad was sent to boarding school. Her grandmother bought her a brand new orange shirt to wear on her first day of Mission School, but when she arrived at Mission School, she was stripped and had her clothes taken away - including one orange shirt.
“I don't understand why they don't give it back to me, it's mine! Orange always reminds me of that and that my feelings don't matter, no one cares and I feel like I have no value. All our children cried and no one cared.” - Phyllis Webstad, Founder of the Orange Shirt Association.
On September 30, we wear orange to remember Phyllis’ story and the 150,000 Indigenous children like her who were taken from their families, communities, and cultures.
