Orange Shirt Day Sept. 30
Advocacy Resource Center’s 4th Annual Orange Shirt Day Photo Monday, Sept. 30. Please post your Orange Shirt Day photo comments on the ARC Facebook page www.Facebook.com/saulttribeARC on Sept. 30. We encourage EVERYONE to wear orange in support of our Residential Boarding School Victims and Survivors.

We wear orange to support the 150,000-plus children who endured the residential school system’s physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. This created a historical trauma which Native Americans continue to endure.

Questions? Call Community Educator Jess Gillotte-King at 906‑632‑1808.
