Chief Criticizes Federal Branding Requirement on Orange Shirt Day Funding

The Chief of James Smith Cree Nation, Kirby Constant, has voiced strong concerns over Ottawa’s decision to require federal branding on promotional materials for Orange Shirt Day events.

The community received approximately $6,700 from the Department of Canadian Heritage to support activities marking the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. However, the funding came with the stipulation that government logos be displayed on event materials.

Chief Constant said this condition undermines the spirit of the day, which is meant to honour survivors of residential and day schools, as well as those who never returned home. He emphasized that Orange Shirt Day is a solemn occasion rooted in Indigenous experiences, not an opportunity for government promotion.

The controversy highlights ongoing tensions between Indigenous communities and federal authorities over how reconciliation efforts are represented and supported. For many, the issue raises broader questions about whether government involvement risks overshadowing the voices of survivors and their families.
