Orange Shirt Day: Changing The Conversation On Truth And Reconciliation With Phyllis Webstad

The Discovery Pod

September 30th is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, known as Orange Shirt Day, in Canada. It is the day to recognize the effects of the Canadian Indian residential system and honor survivors, their families, and those who never made it home. In this special episode, Douglas Nelson speaks with none other than the founder of Orange Shirt Day and the Orange Shirt Society, Phyllis Webstad. Phyllis shares her story and healing journey as a survivor and how, in 2013, she helped raise awareness that the Federal government took notice. She then takes us into how they run their organization, attract corporate partners, and utilize merchandise sales. Looking ahead, she then shares her thoughts on what action can people and corporations take to show their solidarity. So tune in and take part in this important conversation.
