在多年以来，许多与“橙色衬衫日”（Orange Shirt Day）无关的公司都从中获利之后，该活动的创始人终于开设了自己的小卖部，出售带有该组织法定商标的官方纪念品。她的小卖部位于坎卢普斯（Kamloops）的阿伯丁购物中心（Aberdeen Mall）内。此前，白人民族主义组织“Second Sons Canada”的成员曾在Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc原住民保留地被目击。
After years of unaffiliated companies profiting off of Orange Shirt Day, the founder of the Orange Shirt Society has opened her own kiosk to sell official merchandise bearing the society's legal trademark to the term "Every Child Matters." The opening of her kiosk in Kamloops' Aberdeen Mall comes after members of the white nationalist group Second Sons Canada were recently spotted on Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc reserve land. Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc Kúkwpi7 (Chief) Rosanne Casimir said the gathering was a display of denialism and racism, and with the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day on the horizon, the group was "very, very intimidating."
Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc部落的酋长罗莎娜·卡西米尔（Rosanne Casimir）表示，这些活动纯粹是种族主义和否认历史的体现；鉴于“国家真相与和解日”（National Day for Truth and Reconciliation）以及“橙色衬衫日”即将到来，这类行为显得尤为令人担忧。她强调：“这再次提醒我们，这项工作为何如此重要。”
"It just reminds us why this work remains so important," said Casimir. Webstad told CBC News that even at her newly opened Orange Shirt Storee kiosk, someone told workers "there are no bodies," in reference to the denialism of suspected unmarked graves at Indian residential schools.
韦布斯塔德（Webstad）告诉CBC新闻，即使在她新开的小卖部里，也有人对工作人员说“那些坟墓里根本没有尸体”——这其实是在否认那些可能存在于印第安人寄宿学校中的无名坟墓的存在。
More than 150,000 First Nations, Métis and Inuit children were forced to attend church-run, government-funded residential schools between the 1870s and 1997.
在1870年至1997年间，超过15万名原住民儿童、梅蒂斯（Métis）和因纽特（Inuit）儿童被迫就读由教会运营、政府资助的寄宿学校。根据国家真相与和解中心的统计，约有4,100名儿童在这些学校中死亡，但实际死亡人数可能远高于这一数字。
National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation estimates about 4,100 children died at residential schools across the country, based on death records, but has said the true total is likely much higher. The beginnings The roots of Orange Shirt Day go back to the day Webstad arrived at residential school.
“橙色衬衫日”的起源可以追溯到韦布斯塔德自己就读寄宿学校的那一天：1973年，6岁的她与祖母一起去商店购买新衣服时，兴奋地选了一件亮橙色的衬衫。那年秋天，她被从Stswecem'c Xgat'tem原住民保留地带走，被送往不列颠哥伦比亚省威廉姆斯湖（Williams Lake）附近的圣约瑟夫印第安寄宿学校（St. Joseph Mission Indian Residential School）。到达学校后，她的衣服被没收了，她再也没能穿上那件橙色衬衫。
In 1973, six-year-old Webstad was shopping with her grandmother for a new outfit for school when she excitedly picked out a bright orange shirt. That fall, Webstad was removed from the Dog Creek reserve of the Stswecem'c Xgat'tem First Nation and sent to the St. Joseph Mission Indian Residential School near Williams Lake, B.C. When Webstad arrived at the residential school, she said she was stripped and her orange shirt was taken away.
“我再也没穿过那件衬衫……我不明白他们为什么不肯把它还给我，”韦布斯塔德在橙色衬衫组织的网站上写道。“我觉得自己毫无价值，”她说。
"I never wore it again. I didn't understand why they wouldn't give it back to me," Webstad wrote on the Orange Shirt Society's website.
她表示，这种无价值感和自卑感从她进入寄宿学校的那一刻起就深深扎根在了她的内心。
"I felt like I was worth nothing," she said.
“橙色衬衫日”（Orange Shirt Day）的创始人菲莉丝·韦布斯塔德（Phyllis Webstad）在她的新回忆录中回顾了自己如何克服逆境的经历。韦布斯塔德的故事后来被纳入了2013年由埃斯凯特姆克部落（Esketemc）酋长弗雷德·罗宾斯（Fred Robbins）发起的纪念项目中；弗雷德·罗宾斯本人也曾是这所寄宿学校的学生。
She said that feeling of worthlessness and insignificance was "ingrained" in her from her first day at residential school. Orange Shirt Day creator Phyllis Webstad reflects on a life of overcoming adversity in new memoir Webstad later shared her story as part of a 2013 reunion and commemoration project formed by Esketemc Chief Fred Robbins, a former student of the school.
“橙色衬衫日”正是源于这个纪念项目。该组织选择9月30日作为纪念日，是因为历史上孩子们常常在这一天被从家中和家庭中带走，送往寄宿学校。
Orange Shirt Day grew out of that project. The society says Sept. 30 was chosen because it was the time of year when children were historically taken from their homes and families to residential schools.
2021年，当联邦政府将这一天定为法定纪念日后，这个日期也与加拿大的“真相与和解日”（National Day for Truth and Reconciliation）合并在一起。
The date would later be shared with Canada's National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, after the federal government established the statutory holiday in 2021.
然而，韦布斯塔德指出，自那时起，许多与原住民无关的个人和公司开始从“橙色衬衫日”及相关活动中牟取利益。她曾花费10分钟在网上搜索相关商品，结果发现来自多达10个国家的数百种相关产品。“这就是这种活动被滥用的程度，”她说。
Orange shirts being exploited: Webstad But since then, Webstad said, people and companies unaffiliated with First Nations in Canada have been profiting from Orange Shirt Day and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. She said she once spent 10 minutes searching online for Orange Shirt Day merchandise and found hundreds of products from as many as 10 different countries. "That's how much it was being abused," she said.
“我们的目的不是阻止人们使用‘每个孩子都重要’（‘Every Child Matters’）这一口号，而是要阻止那些对历史毫不在意的人从中获利，”这位“橙色衬衫日”的创始人强调。她表示，自己的真相正被一些有争议的商品所掩盖。
"It's not to stop people from using 'Every Child Matters.' It's to stop those from other countries from profiting, who don't care about what the history is."
在售商品所得的部分收入将用于支持“橙色衬衫协会”（Orange Shirt Society），以及韦布斯塔德和她的家人。
Orange Shirt Day founder says her truth is being 'pushed aside' by controversial shirts Proceeds from merchandise sold at the kiosk will go in part to the Orange Shirt Society, as well as to Webstad and her family.
当被问及那些试图否认寄宿学校历史的商品时，韦布斯塔德提到，他们还制作了一条长达60码的纪念布，上面记录了那些未能从寄宿学校回家的孩子们的名字。“作为受到影响的原住民，我们深知真相是什么，”她说。
When asked about merchandise centred on denying the history of residential schools, Webstad said there is a 60-yard-long memorial cloth documenting children across the country who didn't make it home from residential schools. "We as First Nations people that are impacted, we know what the truth is," she said.
11月，Webstad将从经营商场内的售货亭转型为开设一家同名的实体店。
In November, Webstad will transition from operating a mall kiosk to opening a storefront with the same name.
