Today, we honor Orange Shirt Day.

We remember the Native children who were taken from their families and communities, honor the survivors, and recognize the generations still carrying the impact of residential and boarding schools.

Every Child Matters.

At Native Forward, we remain committed to creating a future where Native students are supported, celebrated, and empowered through education.
