Today is US Residential Schools Remembrance Day, aka Orange Shirt Day. The last Residential School in the US closed in 1996. Anti-Indigenous racism is alive and well, and ignoring it is never a solution. orangeshirtday.org

My father is a residential school survivor. The horrors he faced in those 'schools' were innumerable. All eleven of my aunts and uncles went as well. My grandparents were also survivors. Myself, I live with what happened daily. It haunts me.

If you read the linked piece you’d know that Kendall went into depth about this. Your question is a really common one, steeped in wrong and often rooted in racist assumptions about who does and doesn’t “waste” resources.

Most water for bathing, cooking, and drinking in the United States is provided by utilities, about 80 percent of which are publicly owned. Water utilities are funded by a combination of government money, user fees, municipal bonds, and private loans.
Though household fees are often thought to discourage overuse, data show that demand for water is relatively fixed, and raising prices produces little reduction in usage.® Furthermore, residential water use accounts for just 8.2 percent of overall water usage in the United States.

The most effective and equitable solution to the affordability problem is to eliminate residential fees and simply fund water utilities entirely with progressive taxation. If governments are interested in reducing overall water consumption, there are a variety of other options such as physical infrastructure that limits the amount of water that flows through fixtures, water recycling, or limiting the largest users of water, which are farms and industrial facil

September 30 is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada, a day when we learn about the residential school system, honour the Survivors, and remember those who didn’t come home. For more information: nctr.ca#TruthAndReconciliationDay#EveryChildMatters

NCTR

The NCTR is a place of learning and dialogue where the truths of the residential school experience will be honoured and kept safe for future generations.

Today is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation here in so-called Canada, also known as Orange Shirt Day. It is a day of memorial to recognize the atrocities and multi-generational effects of the Canadian Indian residential school system.

I live on a “cut through” route from one of Minnesota’s wealthiest neighborhoods. The Ferrari’s and Land Rovers always speed 10-15 mph at least in front of our house in a 25mph residential neighborhood. No cops monitoring EVER! They’re always in the poorer neighborhoods 😡
