Abstract

An orange shirt is synonymous with truth and reconciliation in Canada. How did this symbol spread from a personal story about surviving a residential school, to a children’s book by author Phyllis J. Webstad, to a national symbol of Indigenous solidarity and allyship? This paper examines the work of Webstad as a Canadian story luminary, using historical and textual analysis to explore the power of “The Orange Shirt Story” to decolonize, resist, refuse, and transform. The orange shirt reveals the deep connectedness between storytelling, social justice, resilience, and activism.
故事名人菲利斯(杰克)-韦伯斯塔德和橙色衬衫的故事作品
在加拿大,橙色衬衫是真相与和解的代名词。这个符号是如何从一个关于寄宿学校幸存者的个人故事,传播到作家菲利斯-J-韦伯斯塔德(Phyllis J. Webstad)的儿童读物,再传播到土著团结和盟友关系的国家象征的?本文研究了作为加拿大故事大师的韦伯斯塔德的作品,利用历史和文本分析探讨了《橙色衬衫的故事》在非殖民化、抵制、拒绝和变革方面的力量。橙色衬衫揭示了讲故事、社会正义、复原力和行动主义之间的深刻联系。
