On September 30, CRITFC honors the National Day of Remembrance for the Indigenous children who were taken from their families and forced into boarding schools in a deliberate attempt to erase Native culture, language, and identity. Indigenous community members and allies wear orange each year on Sept. 30th to commemorate this day.

For generations, the Yakama Nation, Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, and the Nez Perce Tribe have carried the weight of this trauma. Many of our elders who have served on the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission since 1977 are survivors of these institutions. They witnessed firsthand the cruelty designed to break their connection to their people, our rivers, and way of life.

Through strength, faith and community they endured these unspeakable hardships and preserved language, culture and history for today’s Native communities. Our elders have handed down all they were able to hold onto through every attempt to silence and steal our ancestral birthright. They passed down the songs, ceremonies, and knowledge of the First Foods that have sustained our people since time immemorial.

By holding ceremonies in remembrance across Indian Country we are ensuring that we will never forget or allow this history to be minimized or erased.

For the children who never came home, for their hair that was sheared from their scalps, the languages ripped from their mouths, and the families that were torn apart, this is not a distant past. The intergenerational trauma lives in our communities today and we continue to combat it with our elders’ teachings. By continuing to exercise our Treaty reserved rights and hold fast to our cultures, our elders live on through every tribal fisher, root digger, hunter and berry picker. They live on in the songs, laughter and joy that echo in our longhouses. The beautiful sounds that could not be stolen.

Our cultures remain. Our people remain. And we will continue to protect what we hold as sacred.
