St. Clare’s is closing its offices on September 30th in recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. For those of us who are settlers on this land, you may be looking for information about the day, and for how to participate intentionally.
What is the day for?
National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a day to honor residential school survivors - those who made it home and those who did not. On the 30th we hold space for all those who have lost a loved one, their culture, or their traditional homeland. September 30th is also Orange Shirt Day which also honors residential school survivors. This time of year was chosen for both days as it was this time of year that Indigenous children were taken from their families and made to attend residential schools.
Since residential schools are one of many acts of genocide against Indigenous peoples on Turtle Island, National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is also a day to acknowledge, heal, and address historical and ongoing behaviour that has harmed indigenous people. Current examples include the murdered and missing Indigenous women, girls, and 2-spirit people, the overrepresentation of Indigenous children in state care, the pipelines and the poisoned water, and the forced sterilizations and disproportionate incarceration of Indigenous people.
Actions to take
The solidarity actions you choose to take are, of course, up to you. Here are some ideas for this week, the 30th, and beyond:
Redistribute/donate time, resources, or money to Indigenous organizations, efforts, and individuals

Although volunteering is harder in COVID, many organizations still request support online and in-person- just try emailing them to ask if you can do anything

Many organizations also accept resource donations such as food, menstrual products, kid’s toys, and clothing (especially as winter nears!)

Here are a few Indigenous-run organizations:

2 Spirited People of the 1st Nations

Wigwamen

Anishnawbe Health Toronto

Native Youth Sexual Health Network

Toronto Birth Centre

Sovereign Bodies Institute

Toronto Indigenous Harm Reduction

Here are some efforts happening right now:

Tiny House Warriors

Rainforest Flying Squad/Fairy Creek Blockade

You can also redistribute/donate directly to Indigenous individuals. You can find folks who need support by:

Typing keywords into twitter like “Indigenous paypal” or “ ”
