Sept. 30 <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day, is a Canadian day of memorial to recognize the atrocities and multi-generational effects of the Canadian Indian residential school system. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission, established to document the effects of the residential school system, ran from 2008 to 2015, and concluded that the attempt to forcefully assimilate Indigenous communities was a cultural genocide. Orange Shirt Day was first established as a day of observance in 2013. The use of an orange shirt as a symbol was inspired by the accounts of Phyllis Jack Webstad, whose personal clothing—including a new orange shirt—was taken from her during her first day of residential schooling, and never returned. The orange shirt is thus used as a symbol of the forced assimilation of Indigenous children that the residential school system enforced.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Day_for_Truth_and_Reconciliation">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Day_for_Truth_and_Reconciliation</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#0070C0'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#0070C0'>Critical AI Literacy<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Wed.
