The Land Acknowledgment sign is heavily inspired by beadwork. Beadwork is a significant visual art that contains a lot of our cultural values. It is an art form that stands as a symbol of our resilience as a people and I wanted to pull inspiration from motifs from the works of the tribes within Treaty One and Treaty Three territory.

The florals - which have been utilized by the Metis Nation and widely adapted amongst many First Nations tribes - feature an evening primrose surrounded by four bunchberries with spiraling stems and leaves.
 Both the evening primrose and bunchberries are wildflowers that can be found in both Manitoba and Ontario.

This sits within a parfleche pattern surrounded by various references to Indigenous astronomy. To go over it in full, the first symbol — starting from the outside — denotes clouds, with the two black triangles joined at their side. Next, three feathers have been shaped into harebells, representing the earth, sky, and water. Lastly, the two triangles which touch at the apex refer to the Milky Way, which is thought to be the path to the spirit world. So, to summarize this, we gain knowledge about the Universe that we physically exist in as spirits having a human experience through the stars.
