  15. Orange Shirt Day has a special resonance in so-called Vancouver and B.C. because it was founded by Phyllis Webstad, who in 1973 at six-years-old was forced to leave her Secwepemc Nation home to attend Saint Joseph Mission Residential School in Williams Lake, B.C. Phyllis wore an orange shirt on the first day of school, but it was quickly replaced with an official residential school uniform. For more please visit Phyllis’ story at https://orangeshirtday.org/phyllis-story/. ↩︎

  24. Maracle, Lee. 2017. “Harassed.” In Bobbi Lee Indian Rebel (Toronto: Women’s Press), 183–84. In the piece “Harassed”, the relationship between an 108-year-old Chinese elderly man and an Indigenous woman in her 90s is documented. They did not speak a common language, yet met on a consistent basis in the same location for years, withstanding ongoing police harassment. They continued to laugh in the face of settler colonial forces and ideologies that failed to break them apart. In recounting the relationship, multiple people told Lee Maracle that “they’d been getting together like this for as long as people around could remember…” ↩︎
