Not a single word about Indigenous, the harm on Indigenous Peoples’, Treaty rights, nor Alberta’s evil record of being incapable of dealing with clean up fossil fuels, let alone mitigating this. Alberta also hates non Alberta regulators which could prevent this. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Canada was a signatory to that convention in 1952 while they forcibly took Indigenous children out of their homes (and still do). What are they living up to exactly? They never bothered to live up to it before.

PM @mark-carney.bsky.social & Premier Ford, Will Canada reconcile its truth of occupying Indigenous Peoples, breaking Treaties, violating UNDRIP & duty to free & prior informed consent, & unaliving people & planet for colonial profit? 👀📙🍉 #NDTR #OrangeShirtDay #EveryChildMatters #Genocide #Ecocide

Thousands of people wearing orange shirts in honour of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation filled Portage Avenue in Winnipeg, crossing in front of APTN headquarters where we captured the sights and sounds of the walk. Here’s an extended cut.

On the eve of the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, we see why Call to Action 6 is not yet implemented. Evan, I’m proud of you. #TeacherSolidarity

Dear organizations and businesses acknowledging The National Day of Truth and Reconciliation.. show your work. Show the stats of employees that are #Indigenous. In leadership positions. Retention numbers. How you implemented the Calls. How you’re continuing your groups education & anti racism work.

🧡 Today, on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour Survivors of residential schools, their families, and communities. 1/3

settlers are not entitled to the unpaid labour of Indigenous Women & Peoples. Certainly not during a traumatic time like this!

I’ve blocked two folkx on TT with orange hearts, and watermelons in the bio demanding free labour of me on Bryan Adams on this day. Cdns do not understand violence against Indigenous women at all.

We cannot rest or be complacent—even as the colonial governments of these territories shift to abandon their commitments and bring new violence to all Indigenous nations. Truth and Justice require more than words, but action. 5/5

They are alive and well in the Child Welfare System, Group Homes, Prisons, in anti-encampment legislation, and in violent resource extraction. 4/5

The Residential School System, the 60's Scoop, and the Asylum System in Ontario created cross-generational state violence against First Nations, Métis, and Inuit families and their nations. Yet, these vile colonial structures are not dead or in the past. 3/5

We cannot separate our fight for disability justice from decolonization. We cannot separate deinstitutionalization from the long histories of colonial violence, death, and disablement on these territories. 2/5

Our office is closed today, but we wanted to leave you with some resources and thoughts on this Orange Shirt Day. Resources: - nctr.ca/publications... - globalnews.ca/news/8... - nvisiongroup.ca/the-... 1/5

September 30 is Orange Shirt Day, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada. A day to honor the children taken to residential schools, to remember survivors, and to confront the harm done. But an Orange shirt is not enough, orange donuts just crass.

Everyday is orange shirt day. End genocide everywhere. Stand with Indigenous Peoples. Fuck settler colonialism. Free the people, free the land. We live on stolen land. Land back. Land back. Land back.

Today is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day – a time to raise awareness for the ongoing impacts of residential school and remember the children who never came home.

Fine, then give us back the land you stole. Forget the land acknowledgements and return the land in totality...

Gave my status card card at the ER accidentally instead of my service card they suddenly became obsessed with alcohol alcohol consumption like how many time do I have to say I don’t drink at all #Indigenous #Profiling

A B.C. volunteer search-and-rescue team says it believes it is the first in the province, and likely in Canada, to use a portable cell tower on a helicopter as part of a rescue operation. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

At the age of 13, Jennifer Wood remembers being in a car driving up to the Portage La Prairie Indian Residential School with her suitcase and not comprehending what was going on until her father said he would see her at Christmas. She shares her story on the season premiere of Face to Face.

Hundreds took to the streets in downtown Montreal to commemorate survivors and those who were lost to the residential school system.

In honour of National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, APTN, CBC/Radio-Canada, and the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation are partnering to produce a 90-minute multilingual commemoration. Watch our pre-show live at 2:30 p.m. ET:

September 30 marks the 5th National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, and survivors are gathering in Ottawa to commemorate the day for those who didn't make it home. APTN’s Creeson Agecoutay shows us how things are shaping up there.

Phyllis Webstad has become a household name when it comes to answering the TRC's 94 Calls to Action, sharing her orange shirt story through several children’s books. Now, she's co-written a book confronting residential school denialists.

We're live with hosts Dennis Ward in Winnipeg and Creeson Agecoutay in Ottawa, ahead of the Remembering the Children multilingual commemoration. Watch here: www.aptnnews.ca/ourstories/r...

Joining host Dennis Ward in studio is residential school survivor Lorraine Seymour. Watch that discussion live: www.youtube.com/live/Nb4gTI3...

He continuously called on the government to make improvements but was largely ignored and eventually fired.

Dr. Peter Bryce was chief medical officer for the Department of Indian Affairs from 1904-1921. In numerous reports, Bryce documented the unsanitary conditions of residential schools, their detrimental health effects on children and the fact the schools served as hot spots for such diseases as TB.

Jingle dress dancer Dara Wawatie and drummer Nimkeehns Wemigwans attended a memorial for residential school children on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Ottawa. The ceremony took place at the Beechwood National Cemetery, where Dr. Peter Bryce is buried.

Orange shirts are being worn across the country today, including our APTN News team in Winnipeg. We want to see how you’re honouring the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Send your Orange Shirt Day pictures to [email protected]

'Reconciliation isn't just about the Indigenous people and the government and the churches. It's about every Canadian. We all have to work at this if we want it to work. We have to put an effort into it,' says Two-Spirit Elder Charlotte Nolin. Watch more: www.aptnnews.ca/ourstories/r...
