Orange Shirt Day recognizes survivors of residential schools
September 30 is Orange Shirt Day — an annual event that aims to raise awareness of the lasting impact of residential schools on Indigenous children.
10-year-old Paulusie Naluktuk created a segment about Orange Shirt Day for CBC Newfoundland & Labrador's "On Your Street", a project where kids become reporters and share stories from their communities.
Paulusie was the winner of a contest held by 1988 Designs, a clothing and apparel business located in Conception Bay South. 220 shirts featuring Paulusie's design were sold, with $5 from each sale donated to First Light, a friendship centre in St. John's.
Paulusie received $1 from each T-shirt sale and he's been spending his well-deserved earnings on lots of new books.
