Crystal Fraser and I are co-editing a series on environmental histories of Indian residential and day schools for @nichecanada.bsky.social. We chose to launch the series on Orange Shirt Day, in part, to remind historians of their responsibilities to Survivors and intergenerational Survivors.

Environmental History and the Work of Truth and Reconciliation

This series links residential and day school histories with environment, amplifying Survivors’ voices, countering denialism, and fostering reconciliation.

September 30 marks the 5th National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, and survivors are gathering in Ottawa to commemorate the day for those who didn't make it home.

APTN’s Creeson Agecoutay shows us how things are shaping up there.
