Stella Solzhenitsyn, an indigenous woman from Canada, had a profound impact on her community. She experienced emotional and psychological abuse at a residential school, which led to her association of the color orange with negativity. In 2013, an orange shirt day was established to honor missing and murdered indigenous children, thanks to Stella's courage in sharing her story. Stella continues to raise awareness about the injustices faced by indigenous people and works towards healing and reconciliation. Welcome to Babbling with Stella. I'm your host, Stella. Today is January 26th, and in this episode, we delve into the remarkable life of Stella Solzhenitsyn, her profound impact on the indigenous community, and how her story sparked the inception of Longstreet Days. Stella Solzhenitsyn was born in July 1957 in Dalton, British Columbia, currently residing in Detroit, British Columbia. She hails from the northern Chequepemoc community of Siskiyou, Scandinavian First Nation, with a mixed heritage encompassing Chequepemoc and Irish-French ancestry. At the age of six in 1973, Stella was sent to a residential school known as the Mission. Despite her family's financial limitations, Stella's and her grandmother went on a trip to town in 2005 in about six. Stella showed a shiny orange shirt, which she was proudly wearing. Stella could enjoy the shirt she wore, as almost immediately, she was stripped, and her shirt was taken upon arrival. Since then, Stella has always associated the color orange with negativity, the black thing, but 392 emotional and psychological abuse she endured at the school. A decade after she shared her story, on September 30, 1923, an orange shirt daily was established on the official day of her conciliation, dedicated to honoring the missing and murdered children of rice-grower Stella Solzhenitsyn. Stella Solzhenitsyn's dedication and outreach greatly played a pivotal role in bringing Stella's recognition. Over the years, Stella has provided a platform for indigenous voices, fostering, healing, and reconciliation by raising awareness about the injustices prevalent in the French school system, and validating the results of genocide and intergenerational trauma.
