Institutions unveil new Indigenous artwork, logos

Cégep de Lanaudière, Champlain College Saint-Lambert, McMaster University, and the University of Toronto have each unveiled artwork and imagery by Indigenous artists. Cégep de Lanaudière unveiled a painting created by Atikamekw artist Eruoma Awashish that features a sacred circle with a raven at the center. Champlain Saint-Lambert unveiled a new mural created by art therapist Megan Kanerahtenha:wi Whyte and three Indigenous student ambassadors. The mural depicts the four seasons and the act of giving thanks. Meanwhile, at McMaster, student athletes recently wore jerseys with a new Marauder logo created by Cayuga Woodland artist Kyle Joedicke. The logo’s design brings together Indigenous symbolism with McMaster tradition to foster belonging and reconciliation. U of T’s Varsity Blues men’s rugby team also took to the field with jerseys designed by Iroqit—a company from Six Nations of the Grand River Territory—that features Ojibway beadwork patterns.
