The students share ways to get started engaging in this journey, such as wearing orange shirts, respecting Indigenous ceremonies and spaces, supporting Indigenous artists and communities, and listening to and sharing Indigenous stories when you have permission to do so. They discuss the need for unity, understanding, and seeing the world through someone else\'s eyes—and uncovering the truth absolving forward with awareness so there can be healing and a future where we understand that every child matters.
