Shortly before Canada Day, 2021, the remains of 215 children buried on the site of Kamloops Residential School were discovered. This was just the beginning.

On July 1st, I couldn’t bring myself to decorate the front of our house with the usual red and white. Instead, I displayed this quilt

It is 215 pieces of orange fabric, quilted with the text from the United Nations definition of Genocide.
