In regions where the turn of winter was particularly harsh, winter homes that were far more permanent and durable replaced the nomadic and lightweight pole-framed shelters seen from spring to fall. 📲 Learn more here: indigenousbc.com/stories/the-pit-house-indigenous-architectural-innovation (linked in our bio) Featured: Xatśūll Heritage Village

Today is Canada’s National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. September 30 was established in response to Call to Action 80 of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 Calls to Action. It is a day to honour Residential School Survivors, remember the children who never returned home, and recognize the ongoing impacts of residential schools on Indigenous families and communities. Orange Shirt Day has its roots here in British Columbia. In 1973, six-year-old Phyllis Webstad arrived at St. Joseph Mission Residential School near Williams Lake wearing a new orange shirt her grandmother had bought for her. It was taken from her when she arrived and never returned. Years later, Phyllis shared her story. It became part of the foundation of Orange Shirt Day and the message that Every Child Matters. For those of us who live, work and travel throughout British Columbia, this history is close to home. Reconciliation means continuing to learn about the Nations and communities whose territories we are on, listening to Indigenous voices, supporting Indigenous businesses and organizations, and taking action in our own lives and work. September 30 is one day. The work continues throughout the year. Learn more: indigenousbc.com/national-day-for-truth-and-reconciliation (linked in our bio) #truthandreconciliation
