On Friday, September 29, we will gather at the BMH Green for a Sunrise Ceremony beginning at 7:00 am, which will be followed by a Commitment Polishing Ceremony at 10am. The Commitment Polishing Ceremony will include a Cedar Circle and Pipe Ceremony. The day will also include speeches, a walk around Ring Road, a feast, drumming and round dance at the BMH Green.
It is important that we wear orange on this day to show support. Orange was chosen in honour of Phyllis Webstad, a survivor of the St. Joseph Mission Residential School. On her first day, her new orange shirt given to her by her granny was stripped and stolen. We wear orange for all the children who had everything taken including their language, their culture, and for too many- their lives.
