First Nations leaders say Saskatchewan court workers sent home for orange shirts

October 4, 2024
First Nations leaders say the pride two Saskatchewan courthouse staff felt on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation turned to shame after they were told to change out of the orange clothing they wore to work.The Meadow Lake Tribal Council, which represents nine First Nations, is demanding Saskatchewan investigate why the two First Nations women were told Monday to go home from the courthouse in Meadow Lake, northwest of Saskatoon, to change their clothes.“Those two ladies that were shamed [were] so proud when they left that morning wearing their orange shirt and their orange skirt,” Richard Derocher, a vice-chief with the council, told a Friday news conference.
