#YKASTRONG The former Kamloops Indian Residential School is bathed in an orange glow. Orange is the colour used to recognize the impact residential schools have had on the Indigenous peoples of Canada. It stems from the story of Phyllis Webstad, a six-year-old girl who was sent to a residential school in Williams Lake in 1973, wearing a new orange shirt her grandmother bought. Upon arrival at the school, and as part of a larger effort to assimilate Indigenous children into colonial society, Phyllis was stripped of her clothing. She never saw her orange shirt again.
