October 4 is Sisters in Spirit Day Today we honour and remember the Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit people who have been lost to violence. Their spirits remain with us, guiding our efforts to seek justice and create a safer world for all. Let us stand in solidarity with their families and communities, acknowledging their pain and resilience. Together, we can raise awareness, advocate for change, and ensure that their stories are never forgotten. #SistersInSpirit #HonouringAndRemembering #MMIWG2S

On Monday, September 30, we observe the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (NDTR), a day to honour the survivors of Residential Schools and acknowledge the intergenerational impacts these schools have had on their families and communities. This day is also known as Orange Shirt Day, commemorating Phyllis Webstad’s story of having her orange shirt taken away on her first day at a Residential School in 1973. The day is a legacy of the St. Joseph Mission Residential School Commemoration Project, which seeks to raise awareness of the ongoing trauma caused by Residential Schools. Wearing orange symbolizes the loss, resilience, and ongoing journey of healing for Indigenous peoples across Canada. Together, the Indigenous Prosperity Foundation (IPF) and Pow Wow Pitch are taking meaningful action. We partnered to distribute Orange shirts designed by Morning Star Designs, Money Smarts board games, and IPF resources to Indigenous businesses and organizations in Siksika, Membertou, and Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg First Nations. This partnership supports the journey and pathway to prosperity through economic empowerment, education, and wearing orange on September 30th. We invite you to take action in your own way: Educate yourself by accessing free resources from the Legacy of Hope Foundation; and reading the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's recommendations, especially those focused on economic development and self-determination: https://legacyofhope.ca/. Participate in local events and ceremonies on September 30th, and reflect on the stories of Residential School Survivors. Wear orange to show solidarity and raise awareness about the lasting impact of residential schools. We suggest buying from the Orange Shirt Society: https://lnkd.in/gRZ_3k9N. Support Indigenous businesses and initiatives that foster economic independence.
