River Steele Guillas guillasr@myumanitoba.ca Phone Number (204)801-8748 Event Name Orange Shirt Day Date and Time September 28, 2018 Location Atrium of Helen Glass Centre for Nursing 99 Curry Place University of Manitoba, Manitoba Canada R3T 2M6 Other info On behalf of First Nations, Inuit Nations, and Metis Nations, the Nursing Students Association (NSA) is facilitating the 2018 Orange Shirt Day. We use time and space on Orange Shirt Day to build on the work of the University of Manitoba’s Statement of Apology and Reconciliation to Indian Residential School (IRS) Survivors. As the Indigenous Student Coordinator, I invite you to attend our ceremony on September 28, 2018. We start at 10:00, and at 10:30 in the atrium of Helen Glass Centre (HGC), Elder Carl Stone will begin ceremony to open communication between the People and the Spirit World. We welcome you to wear an orange t-shirt and march with us from HGC, past Migizii Agamik, to the National Research Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (NRCTR). Once our pledge is taken at NRCTR, we return to HGC around 11:50 for Elder Marlene Kayseas to speak, a cultural performance piece, and a feast for all participants. Orange Shirt Day is held on or around September 30 across Canada. This day was conceptualized by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission during the gathering of statements from 7,000 IRS survivors. Orange Shirt Day commemorates the traumatic story of Phyllis Jack Webstad, a survivor recalling her first day at a residential school, proudly wearing an orange shirt gifted from her grandmother. She recalls the orange shirt being forcibly removed, never allowed to wear it again. “Every Child Matters – Orange Shirt Day” is the time to expand our understanding and community dialogue around the historical events that traumatized (and continue to influence) interactions between Indigenous Peoples and public servants. Only through facilitating collaborative environments can we lead our communities to create and introduce changes, suitable for all humans, in a culturally-safe way. I respectfully ask all in attendance to observe Indigenous Ceremonial Protocols during this day. This includes, but is not limited to; Ribbon Skirts worn to symbolize respect for the Circle of Life; Moccasins/Mukluks worn to symbolize committed reductions in our impact on Mother Earth; Colours and Symbols worn to symbolize diversity, differentiation, and celebration amongst Nations; Smudging Protocols to be followed; and offerings of respect during recollection of genocidal traumas.
