I hope you are doing well. It is my pleasure to convey to you Student Assembly Resolution #30: Declaring Orange Shirt Day as an Official Day of Recognition and Solidarity.
This resolution calls for Cornell University to declare Orange Shirt Day, or National Day of Remembrance for the U.S. Indian Boarding Schools, an official day of recognition and solidarity. In its declaration, it promotes awareness and active engagement in educational resources and an acknowledgment of the current 6,509 Native American children’s gravesites/bodies recovered in the U.S. and Canadian residential schools.
This resolution was approved by a vote of 17-0-1.
Thank you. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Best,
