Meaning of logo symbols (from artist Cherie Routhier)

 

The logo was derived from Anishinaabeg (Ojibwa) pictographs of the pre-Europeran contact period. The picture writing system was in widespread use in the Great Lakes area.

 

Representations:

Four directions, Spirits over Kitchi-Gami (Great Lake, Superior) with many islands and rivers. Great spirits under water, bird, and fish totems and a healing spirit bear.

 

Currently the Land Element (Forest) of the logo is used.
