Six Nations Councillors won’t celebrate Canada Day and hope to distribute something orange to every house on Six Nations to remind people of all of the unmarked children’s graves.
Six Nations Elected Council (SNEC) elected Chief Mark Hill brought the issue to the Political Liaison meeting on June 28. He asked councillors what they thought about celebrating Canada Day, in the wake of finding more than 1,300 unmarked graves in Western Canada in the last month.
“With what we are seeing with Canada Day. Obviously We know that’s coming up this week, we know there’s many discussions happening across the country with other first nations on their thoughts of Canada Day celebrations given the news and the issues that are happening and arising from residential schools” Hill said. “Obviously, we’re not going to be supporting Canada Day and wearing red and white, but rather supporting and wearing orange.”
