Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe members Joanne Frye and Nancy Rose were in attendance to review the intent of the project proposal. Orange Shirt Day is noted to be observed annually on September 30, 2022 to honor Residential School Survivors and their families. It was initially envisioned as a way to keep the memories alive of the children who sadly lost their lives in the Williams Lake and Cariboo Region of British Columbia,Canada. It all began with one 6-year old child who wore an orange shirt to remember those who passed from Residential School abuse. The Mashpee Public Schools are noted to be collaborating with the Tribe to honor this event by wearing orange shirts. Approximately 250 orange flags are planned to be placed at the Mashpee Rotary. Banners are proposed to be placed around the Rotary stating Every Child Matters. Discussion followed with respect to this proposal in the matter of safety. The applicant,not fully aware of the Town's Sign Policy discussed the matter of signage with the Select Board as it relates to policy. It was recommended the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe work with the Town Manager acting under the authority of the Select Board to place the banners in a safe location and to enhance the placement of the signage to make the intent of the Truth &Reconciliation of Orange Shirt Day known in a conscience effort for awareness and to make the Town of Mashpee a better community. Local business owner and former Selectman Ken Marsters offered the use of his facility Prime Homes located in the vicinity of the Rotary as a location for signage and flags as well as for parking behind the building.
