Patrick Hunter's orange shirt is being sold in Giant Tiger stores across Canada to raise funds for national Indigenous charity while spreading awareness for National Day of Truth and Reconciliation
Two-spirited Ojibway Woodland artist Patrick Hunter has collaborated with a national Indigenous charity to release an orange shirt that’s being sold in Giant Tiger stores across Canada.
“Giant Tiger is such a beloved store in a lot of smaller communities — I mean, that’s kind of where I’m from too — so it’s pretty cool,” said Hunter, a Sault College graduate who’s originally from Red Lake, Ont. “I haven’t quite fully grasped how many stores they have across Canada, but the feeling nonetheless is absolute excitement.”“It’s an eagle, and there’s a lot of Indigenous iconography within the actual eagle itself,” said Hunter.
In a news release issued Wednesday, Giant Tiger touted the retail chain as a long-standing partner of Indspire which supports three programs through its Charitable Giving Fund by donating $75,000 to the national charity annually as part of a three-year partnership: Hunter sees the orange as a “bright, happy colour that stops people in their tracks” while providing an ‘in’ for Canadians to learn about the residential school system and its impacts.
