MEADOW LAKE, Sask. — 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.

Orange Shirt Day "represents a critical commitment to reconciliation" and confronts "Canada's dark history," says tribal council vice-chief.{ai:summary}<p>First Nations leaders in Saskatchewan expressed disappointment after two courthouse staff were asked to change out of orange clothing worn for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
