![‘It was ignorance’: Charlottetown woman’s Pride flag burned on Truth and Reconciliation Day [Video]](https://canadanewsvideo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/mp_644816_0_jaimieleeaugustinejpg.jpg)
Police are investigating after a Pride flag was set on fire at an Indigenous woman’s house in Charlottetown. The flag was set on fire outside her front door while her young children were sleeping in a bedroom directly above.
Jaimie Lee Augustine returned to her Charlottetown home last week to find the two-spirit Pride flag that had been hanging near the front door had been burned.
To make matters worse, it happened on Sept. 30, National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, which honours Canada’s Indigenous people and the children who never returned home from residential schools.
“It took me by surprise and I was in quite a bit of shock,” Augustine said.
“I didn’t know how to react to it at first. It’s just not something you expect to have happen in your neighbourhood.”
