🧡Every Child Matters | Orange Shirt Day🧡 September 30 is a day to remember the Native American children who were taken from their families and communities and forced to attend Indian boarding schools—including the children who survived and carried those experiences with them, and those who never returned home.
This is a time to remember, learn, and honor their lives, while recognizing the lasting impacts of the boarding school era on Native families and communities.
Here in Milwaukee, there are opportunities to come together, learn, remember, and heal:
