The meaning behind the visuals
These visuals were created to reflect Indigenous traditions, spirituality, inclusion, and diversity.
At the centre of the National Indigenous History Month design is the sun, symbolizing the summer solstice, a time of celebration for many First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities.
The design represents each Indigenous group with a distinct symbol: the eagle for First Nations, the narwhal for Inuit, and the fiddle for Métis.
The different colours symbolize the four elements of nature: earth, water, fire, and air. These elements show the deep connection Indigenous cultures have with the natural world.
A stream of colourful smoke flows through the design, reminding us of Indigenous spirituality and reflecting the rich diversity of First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities. Smoke is a significant symbol in Indigenous cultures. It can come from smoking fish and meat, burning sage and tobacco, and it plays an important part in sacred ceremonies and celebrations.
