Description
Beyond the Orange Shirt Story offers an intimate look at life before, during, and after Residential School experiences. Survivors and Intergenerational Survivors share their authentic stories in this unique collection of truths.
Phyllis Webstad, a Residential School Survivor and founder of the Orange Shirt Day movement, has carefully selected stories to help Canadians gain a deeper understanding of the impacts of the Residential School System. By sharing these stories, readers will become more aware of the challenges faced by many Indigenous peoples in Canada.
This book aims to honour the lives and experiences of Survivors and their families, promoting learning, unlearning, understanding, acceptance, and change. Phyllis's hope is that all Canadians will engage with this story, fostering a greater appreciation for the importance of reconciliation and respect for Indigenous cultures.
