63. 2:35Reconciliation calls to action or
64. 2:37recommendations to further the
65. 2:39reconciliation between Canadians and
66. 2:42Indigenous peoples have you asked this
67. 2:44question before was the answer that you
68. 2:46received different than the one I just
69. 2:47gave how does it compare let me know in
70. 2:50the comments below now working our way
71. 2:52through the top five questions next is
72. 2:55number four the fourth most common
73. 2:57question about orange shirt day and
74. 3:00Truth and Reconciliation day is who can
75. 3:03or should participate in orange shirt
76. 3:05day if you're not native can you go to
77. 3:08these events if you're a brand new
78. 3:10indigenous Ally or you're indigenous but
79. 3:13maybe you feel disconnected to your
80. 3:15indigenous Community or Heritage it
81. 3:18might be really intimidating to
82. 3:20participate in orange shirt Day events
83. 3:22or national day of Truth and
84. 3:24Reconciliation activities and that is
85. 3:26completely okay I could say that if
86. 3:29you're a respectful indigenous Ally
87. 3:31you're welcome and totally fine to
88. 3:33attend all events for national day of
89. 3:36Truth and Reconciliation but I can't
90. 3:38speak for them all some communities are
91. 3:41extremely inclusive whereas others are
92. 3:44less inclusive so you might have to use
93. 3:46your best judgment if you're
94. 3:49non-indigenous and you're an ally
95. 3:51wanting to support indigenous people and
96. 3:53communities at these in-person
97. 3:55gatherings now all of the events
98. 3:58workshops and courses that we at tribal
99. 4:01trade host are 100 inclusive to all so
100. 4:05you don't have to be indigenous even if
101. 4:07you are indigenous but you feel like
102. 4:09you're not everything we do at tribal
103. 4:12trade Co is for you so who can
104. 4:14participate in orange shirt day the
105. 4:17quick answer is everyone in Canada
106. 4:18should be recognizing and honoring the
107. 4:21day in my opinion now have you asked
108. 4:24this question before who can participate
109. 4:26was the answer that you received
110. 4:28different than the one that I just gave
111. 4:30let me know in the comments please next
112. 4:33for number three the third most common
113. 4:36question about orange shirt day and
114. 4:37Truth and Reconciliation day is how do I
115. 4:40talk to my kids or students in my class
116. 4:42about residential schools it's a rather
117. 4:44difficult conversation to have right I
118. 4:47know education and truth about history
119. 4:49is important but isn't it inappropriate
120. 4:52to talk about these things with young
121. 4:54kids where do you even begin these are
122. 4:57some of the questions that I get asked
123. 4:59on orange shirt day all Educators should
124. 5:02absolutely be including some lessons or
125. 5:05activities surrounding indigenous
126. 5:07culture and history if you're not you're
127. 5:10doing your students a massive disservice
128. 5:13to their learning experience and
129. 5:16cultural awareness which will
130. 5:18undoubtedly contribute to their future
131. 5:20just saying now what are your thoughts
132. 5:22on this do you agree or disagree let me
133. 5:25know in the comments so yes you need to
134. 5:28have these conversations as clearly
135. 5:31simply and empathetically as possible if
136. 5:34you need help navigating these
137. 5:36conversations surrounding residential
138. 5:37schools you can download a free guide I
139. 5:40created on how to talk about indigenous
140. 5:43residential schools I will link it down
141. 5:45below if question on how can I talk to
142. 5:48my kids or students about residential
143. 5:50schools is one that you've asked
144. 5:53yourself I highly recommend checking out
145. 5:55this video right here on how to talk
146. 5:58about residential schools to kids which
147. 6:01is made specifically for teachers
148. 6:03Educators and the number one influencer
149. 6:06for little ones and youth which is of
150. 6:08course their parents the second most
151. 6:11common question about orange shirt day
152. 6:13and Truth and Reconciliation day is how
153. 6:16do I deal with grown adults who ignore
154. 6:19Truth and Reconciliation it's super
155. 6:22super unfortunate that so many adults in
156. 6:25Canada and even in the United States
157. 6:27were taught an incorrect manipulated
158. 6:30curriculum in school anytime I encounter
159. 6:33an adult who's completely ignorant and
160. 6:35unaware of the history of Canada with
161. 6:37indigenous people I really try to
162. 6:39approach them with compassion and be
163. 6:42understanding that they were lied to in
164. 6:45the most crucial and developmental years
165. 6:48of life their school years believe it or
166. 6:51not what you learn in school when you're
167. 6:53a young kid or in your adolescence does
168. 6:55stick with you so it's really hard for
169. 6:58most adults who've already done their
170. 6:59schooling to be told hey I know we said
171. 7:02indigenous people were uncivilized and
172. 7:04Liars who made up fake stories about
173. 7:06having their land stolen from them but
174. 7:09after digging into the truth we're so
175. 7:12sorry but maybe you can take the time
176. 7:14out of your busy life to relearn history
177. 7:17again because we apologize but what you
178. 7:20were taught was false and we did it
179. 7:23knowingly to try to corrupt your young
180. 7:25and innocent brain thankfully in the
181. 7:28workforce or professional environments
182. 7:30many leaders of large companies have
183. 7:33recognized how important it is for
184. 7:35people in their organization to have
185. 7:37awareness of indigenous people and
186. 7:39culture so that they can have better
187. 7:41relationships with them whether it's
188. 7:44their clients co-workers Partners or
