Orange Shirt Day is a Commitment to Truth and Reconciliation 🧡

Orange Shirt Day is a day of remembrance, truth, and healing for the harms, trauma, and cultural erasure caused by the forced enrollment of Indigenous children in residential and boarding schools across the U.S. and Canada. For some Alaska Native people, this history is not distant. It lives in family stories, in the loss and survival of our languages, and in the strength of those who carried their cultures forward despite efforts to separate children from their homes, clans, communities, and ways of life.

This day is a reminder of the injustice endured by Alaska Native, Native American, and First Nations children who were taken from their families, forbidden from speaking their languages, and alienated from their traditions, homelands, and communities. The impacts were severe and long-lasting, and survivors, descendants, families, and communities continue to carry the weight of this history while working to reclaim, protect, and celebrate the cultures that were targeted for loss.

Wearing an orange shirt symbolizes awareness, solidarity with survivors, and remembrance of the children who never made it home. Today, we reflect on the resilience and strength of ancestors and family members who survived, and we honor their legacy by listening, learning, supporting healing, and carrying forward the languages, cultures, and traditions they fought to protect.

To help support healing, Goldbelt has donated herring eggs and $5,000 to support the Haa Tóoch Lichéesh - We believe it is possible (HTLC) Community Healing Village events in Juneau and Angoon. The donation will help cover the cost of traditional foods, cultural and community facilitators, youth and Elder engagement, activity supplies, staff time, and the other direct costs of bringing these gatherings to community. To learn more about HTLC, including how to get involved, visit their website: https://htlcoalition.org/

We love hearing from shareholders about how Goldbelt’s Haa Laatseen Scholarships Program adds to their lives.

"I am writing to share a review and express my deep gratitude for the YES scholarship. This scholarship has been an incredible blessing for our family. It has allowed us to enjoy meaningful time together, build physical and mental strength, gain confidence, and overcome fears. Most of all, it has introduced us to a brand-new lifelong hobby of rock climbing that we now get to enjoy together. Thank you so much for providing this opportunity and making such a positive impact on our lives." - Shareholder Claire Gentry
