Two First Nations women working at a Saskatchewan courthouse were reportedly told to change out of their orange clothing on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The Meadow Lake Tribal Council is demanding an investigation into the incident, calling it shameful and unacceptable.
First Nations leaders say the pride two Saskatchewan courthouse staff felt on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation turned to shame after they were told to change out of the orange clothing they wore to work.
“A full investigation must be conducted, and necessary steps must be taken to ensure this situation does not repeat itself.” “How can we expect a system to deliver justice for Indigenous people, when it refuses to acknowledge the very history that continues to harm us,” he asked. “It’s a disgrace and it’s an embarrassment,” said David Pratt, another vice-chief of the FSIN. “We have the highest amount of living survivors in the entire country. Think about that.”
Saskatchewan Party Leader Scott Moe, who is vying to return to the premier’s office, said at a campaign stop this week that he’s open to expanding existing legislation that permits court workers to wear poppies on Remembrance Day to include wearing orange on Sept. 30.
