On the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, it is essential to take time to reflect and educate ourselves about the damage caused by the residential school system to First Nations and Indigenous communities across the country.
At MTIE, our commitment to reconciliation is rooted in respect, partnership, and action. We are proud to continue the work of educating the Innu children of our communities.
This year’s Orange Shirt is designed by MTIE, the design pays tribute to our rich cultural heritage by highlighting the distinct styles and craftsmanship unique to our community and celebrating the beauty and significance of our clothing
Each stitch and pattern tell a story, and the design is a visual reminder of the importance of preserving and respecting Indigenous culture, and it invites reflection on the ongoing journey of truth and reconciliation.
“I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the Rideau Hall Foundation for your generous grant and unwavering support of Innu Education.
Their commitment to advancing educational opportunities for Indigenous communities through the Indigenous Teacher Education Program, is deeply appreciated. The partnership not only contributes to the development of skilled and culturally grounded Innu educators but also helps empower future generations of Innu students through education that reflects and respects their heritage. We believe that the Innu of Nitassinan and the Inuit people of Nunatsiavut need to continue to embrace, nurture and support our unique cultures. In working with the Rideau Hall Foundation, we are humbled at the prospect of developing our own to teach our own.
We are proud to stand alongside the Rideau Hall Foundation in this important work, and we look forward to many more years of meaningful collaboration and shared impact.”
