They Tried To Bury Us They Didn't Know We Were Seeds Shirt

They tried to bury us. They didn't know we were seeds.

This powerful design carries a message of resilience, remembrance, and strength, with delicate flowers representing growth and the ability to continue to bloom despite the hardships endured.

For us, this design also carries a deeper connection to Every Child Matters. The flowers and seeds represent the children who were taken from their families and communities through the residential school system, the children whose lives were lost, and the generations who continue to carry their stories forward.

The message is one of survival and resilience — Indigenous children and communities continue to grow, heal, reclaim culture, strengthen language, and carry their ancestors' teachings forward.

Wearing this shirt can be a quiet but powerful reminder that Every Child Matters — yesterday, today, and always. 🧡
