Why do we wear orange on September 30th? 🧡🧡
.
.
“It is a time to be mindful of the experiences of those who attended residential schools throughout Canada, and to acknowledge the resiliency of Survivors of the residential school system. The day originated from British Columbia, where a survivor of residential school recalled how her grandmother had purchased a new orange shirt for her first day of school - upon admission, the shirt was taken away from her and she never saw it again. The Orange Shirt has been adopted as a visual representation of the things which our communities have lost due to residential schools and are a recognizable way for us to show our support for Survivors in their healing journeys”
- Woodland Cultural Centre website
.
.
Be sure to wear your orange tomorrow for #OrangeShirtDay and if you wish to support the cause at Woodland Cultural Centre to #SaveTheEvidence of the only remaining residential school building to still stand in Canada you can visit their website for online ordering! 🧡

Today marks the first day of Ganęnagéhneh 🍂 which is the Cayuga word for Fall!
.
.
As the leaves begin to change and fall to the ground to prepare for rest, we can’t help but notice one plant that never seems to lose its colour, the white pine.
.
.
With strong roots and the ability to survive even the toughest conditions is part of the reason our Six Hodinosho:ni Nations call the great white pine the tree of peace🌲
.
You can learn more about this by booking a visit to any our sites within Six Nations to learn the story from our community 🤗
