Events at SDSU, Waterfront Park raise awareness about abuses suffered by Native American students
San Diego State University students, faculty and community members participated in a live art installation in honor of survivors and victims of the residential boarding school system for Indigenous children during the campus’ Orange Shirt Day gathering Friday.
Friday’s art installation was accompanied by Kumeyaay bird songs sung by a group made up of singers from several Kumeyaay bands. The group included SDSU’s Tribal Liaison Jacob Alvarado Waipuk , Jaime LaBrake , Blue Eagle Vigil , Eagle Vigil and Dominik Jacome Smith . The event was organized by the Indigenous Sovereign Nations employee resource group, a new effort from Native and non-Native staff at the San Diego County Administration Center, said Maria Whitehorse, a social services staff member who is Paiute and Teco.
“The color orange has always reminded me of that and how my feelings didn’t matter, how no one cared and how I felt like I was worth nothing,” Webstad wrote about her experience.
