On Truth & Reconcilaition Day the Teresa Group organized a day for the kids and youth to come in and create an Orange Shirt. We had folks come in to guide the kids on creating the shirts and to learn about traditional Indigenous culture through food, song, and dance. They were given the opportunity to learn about the Indigenous history and why its important to acknowledge this day.
Here is a sampling of what the Children learned at this event.
- We learned how indigenous people have clans.
- Every child should matter.
- Today I learned about the indigenous people and their cultures and the real history at Canada.
- I learned about indigenous people, and their children.
- I learned about the traditional clothing indigenous people wore and that they grow out their hair.
- Today I learned traditional things, and I learned how to draw things and help children.
- Today I learned about how dynamic, and beautiful first nations dances are. It was a joy to watch.
- Today I learned about different people and how things were not the same back then.
- I learnt that there are many cultures in Canada.
- Everything about the “Orange Shirt Day”.
- Today I learned about the Origins of orange shirt day.
- To Love everyone
- People have been through really bad things.

The Teresa Group Stands Against Anti-Asian Racism
Anti-Asian racism and hate has been on the rise in the past year. The tragedy in Atlanta paired with many smaller but no less devastating attacks on the Asian and Pacific Islander communities are the result of a growing, but not new, rhetoric of hate and discrimination. We must not silently stand by.
We all must take time for self-reflection and self-awareness, and if we are a part of the problem, endeavour to change it. Words are not enough, we must take action to actively be a part of the solution.
The Teresa Group wants to be a part of the solution, not the problem. We will hold ourselves accountable, and ask you to do the same.
