Indigenous Legacy: Feather Representations
On our left, we are flanked by the vast Pacific Ocean, where the Western Feather symbolizes the complex issues surrounding our waterways. As the sun sets, we remain committed to building a better future for ourselves and generations to come, and the West awakens the East.
At the center, the Feather showcases the collaborative spirit and blossoming patterns inspired by the traditional floral beadwork of the Métis, known as the 'Flower Beadwork People'. The rabbit symbolizes resourcefulness and adaptability, serving as a reminder of the importance of using available resources wisely and being adaptable. This design was created in collaboration with Métis Elder David Albert, a talented artist from Winnipeg.
On our right, the third Feather represents Indigenous people's sacred life and enduring hardships. Our ceremonies are complex and demanding, and walking the "Red Road" requires resilience. Despite the genocidal traumas suffered by many generations, the Great Spirit gifts us with rituals to find peace, ensuring that our expressions continue to contribute to the next generation. We carry the wisdom of our elders and remain here, stronger than ever.
