Orange shirt day is important because it reminds us that our ancestors and family had to go through something so terrible like the residential schools. This leads to the name of this day, Truth and Reconciliation. Truth for understanding that the residential schools really hurt indigenous people and their culture and reconciliation for a try and build back the trust that was lost when Canada allowed residential schools to ruin indigenous culture and change them into Christians.
I feel like Canada should be working harder to gain back the trust of the indigenous in my opinion they are doing ok with most of the projects in progress but it is very disappointing that only 13 of the projects are finished that means that 81 more need to be finished and who knows when that will be finished.
June 1st 2008 was the date that Truth and Reconciliation was established.
