Memorials abound on the fourth National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada and in parts of the United States on Monday, Sept. 30. The federal holiday in Canada became official in 2021.

Even the Canadian Football League is honoring the children who passed away in boarding schools as a way to never forget the horrors done to Native peoples during colonialism.

Also known as Orange Shirt Day, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a somber, vital time for relatives and friends who want to keep children in their hearts.
