Join us to commemorate and foster respect and mutual understanding with all Indigenous Peoples and communities.
Orange Shirt Day is recognized as a National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. On this day, Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities come together in a shared spirit of reflection, hope, and reconciliation to honor residential school survivors, their families, and their communities.

If you need disability related accommodations (e.g., captioning, materials in an accessible format) to facilitate full participation, please contact Khouri@american.edu at least a week prior to the event.

Orange Shirt Day is open to all and participation is not limited based on any individual’s personal identity or characteristics, including but not limited to race, color, national origin (or shared ancestry), religion, sex, age, sexual orientation, disability, or veteran status.
