This week was Truth and Reconciliation week. My teacher asked us to make a blog post about truth and reconciliation? what does reconciliation mean? Reconciliation means reestablishment of something such as a broken relationship. This week I learnt a lot of new information one of the big things I learnt was that the indigenous people weren’t treated right and what orange shirt day is. Orange shirt day is a day that you wear an orange shirt to remember what happened. This story is about a girl that got a bright orange shirt for her first day of school (residential school) and she said that they stripped off her clothes and she said that she never saw the shirt again. The orange shirt serves as a symbol of the horrors that occurred at the residential schools.

A way our school can create a more inclusive environment to recognize Indigenous learn more about their heritage and culture and learn about the actions we can do in the community to help the Indigenous.
