#orange shirt

[enbycrip]

ID: A drawing of a white boy with short blond hair in a pink shirt and blue trousers says “My school has a playground, a soccer field and a baseball field!”

An indigenous Canadian child wearing a white shirt with drab grey dungarees, with short black hair, sadly replies “Mine has a graveyard”.

It is signed R. Cate, “Without Reservations”: 6/1/21.

Neither the Canadian government nor the Roman Catholic Church can escape responsibility for the act of genocide that was these “schools” where so many indigenous children died and so many more were left with lifelong trauma and health problems.

They both owe indigenous communities huge monetary and territorial reparations, as does the British state as plenty of these atrocities took place on our watch too. The ongoing genocidal actions still being inflicted on indigenous people by Canada and Trudeau’s government, in violating and destroying the environment of sovereign nations for corporate oil profits, is an utter disgrace all of us must continue to call them out on.

Canada and Trudeau benefit by the highly publicised awfulness of the US and British governments. We *cannot* allow their genocidal and eugenicist actions, in this and the ongoing murder of disabled people via MAiD, to go under the radar.

White people, settlers and abled people have a particular responsibility to speak up about these things, because part of the reason Trudeau is able to keep this shiny reputation is because things happening to indigenous and/or disabled people matter to fewer people even in “progressive” communities. A *lot* of abled white trans folk praised him for tweeting “trans women are women”. If you did that without knowing these facts, this is your notification to *hold him to account*.

These Days, Upon Us ALL.

Couple of articles here too, with thanks to the Globe and Mail for highlighting these voices: https://globe2go.pressreader.com/article/281728389147735 https://globe2go.pressreader.com/article/281784223720196 I find myself considering the parallels between erasures – especially of late, given the recent ‘scandal’ to rock Parliament. The tried and true argument that “we didn’t know” that runs…

I was wearing my Obligatory Enby Orange Shirt at the museum of industry and science and an employee just ran up to me and said, very very excitedly, “Hey! You!! With the orange shirt! I see you! I know what you are!!” And I yelled back like a reasonable gremlin queer and they ran over and showed off their ofmd flag pin and reached in their uniform pocket and pulled out a “science superstar” sticker and handed it to me and said “you’re a science superstar :)” and grinned and bounded off and AAAA this made my fucking day

#EveryChildMatters, #AllChildrenmatter is a hashtag to honor Orange Shirt Day, also called National Day for Truth and Reconciliation or National Day of Remembrance, which is observed yearly on September 30 in Canada and the United States.

-Cultural genocide-

Starting around the 1900s, the Canadian and U.S. governments, backed by various catholic and some other christian church groups established residential schools for Indigenous children, forcibly assimilating them into Eurocentric American standards by isolating them from their families and eradicating their languages and cultures. In 1920 in Canada, under the Indian Act, it became law for every Indigenous child to attend a residential school and illegal for them to attend any other educational institution. Similarly, in the U.S. the Indian Civilization Act Fund, the Peace Policy of 1869, and various denominations of the Catholic/Christian Church adopted an Indian boarding school policy with the goal to “Kill the Indian, save the man”. These children were forcibly removed from their families and communities and brought to boarding schools where they were forced to assimilate (cut their hair, abandon traditional clothing, give up their family names and take on English names) and were punished for speaking their languages or practicing cultural beliefs. Very young children were kept from their families for long periods (sometimes over four years) and were taught their cultures were inferior or sinful. In addition to cultural genocide, horrific physical, sexual, and emotional abuse was perpetrated against every child.

-The numbers-

Starting in the 1880s, upwards of 150,000 first nations kids were sent to residential schools across Canada, the last of which closed in 1996. It is estimated that between four and six thousand children were murdered at these schools, and hidden in unmarked graves. Gravesites are continuously being discovered to this day.

Between 1819 and 1969, the U.S. hosted and ran approximately 400 boarding schools. At the time of a 1969 report, 34,605 children were enrolled in Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) boarding schools and 15,450 enrolled in BIA day schools.

After the discovery of unmarked graves at Canadian school sites, the USA started in June 2021 to locate gravesites. The Federal Indian Boarding School initiative has identified both marked and unmarked burial sites at approximately 53 of these schools, and continues to search. We are unsure of the amount of murdered children, but expect the approximate number to grow in both Canada and the USA. A prediction based on enrollment paperwork and other evidence estimates a total of around 25,000 children in Canada and upwards of 40,000 children in the United States that lost their lives at residential boarding schools. EveryChildMatters is often symbolized by wearing an orange shirt or with 2 orange feathers in hair, on clothing, and in artworks.
