The artwork featured in this t-shirt design is by Kayla. Follow Kayla and support her work on Instagram @bearskindesigns. Kayla is an Indigenous (Oneida) artist who is inspired by the beauty of mother earth, and incorporates this into her artwork.

The design included at the front of the t-shirt is a pair of moccasins. Moccasins hold a deep meaning for many Indigenous communities. They often represent life and spirituality for many individuals as well. In this design, we decided to include moccasins to represent the Indigenous children who had to endure the horrific conditions in Residential Schools. It is a symbol of remembrance and of respect, to honour the lives of these children.

At the back of the t-shirt, is text that says "Every Child Matters." The Every Child Matters movement is an extremely deep-rooted and important movement, started to raise awareness about the Indigenous children who had to go through the residential school system and the enduring impacts they faced. Every Child Matters was created because for many Indigenous children- they felt like they didn't matter. The inhumane way Indigenous children were treated is inexcusable, and we want these generations of children to know that they do matter. And that it is imperative to continue to fight for Indigenous rights, today and everyday.
