This is what Orange Shirt Day is about. And today, the residential school system lives on in a different form. Indigenous children are still stolen from their families and raised in group homes where they are abused and then, when they age out of the system, many end up on the streets with no supports. The 60s scoop did not end. The racism is systemic. https://www.aci-iac.ca/art-books/kent-monkman/key-works/the-scream/ #KentMonkman #TheScream #TruthAndReconciliation #ResidentialSchool #IndigenousMastodon #OrangeShirtDay
