Students Honor Indigenous Children on Wear Orange Day

Passamaquoddy language and culture teacher Lynn Mitchell led Calais High School students in the annual school-wide march for Wear Orange Day on Sept. 30, remembering Indigenous children lost to residential schools and those who returned with lasting hurts. Many students wore orange shirts, a symbol of remembrance and resilience inspired by Phyllis Webstad’s story, and marched alongside Mitchell in song and drumming. Mitchell later visited Woodland High, where five students joined her in drumming and singing, earning a standing ovation.
