Trent University has unveiled the crest for Gidigaa Migizi College, which was named in honour of the elder, alumnus, and former assistant professor whose English name was Doug Williams-ban. The crest was designed by First Nations artist Jared Tait in consultation with the Elders & Traditional Knowledge Keepers Council. It features a spotted eagle, in recognition of the fact that Gidigaa Migizi means “spotted eagle” in Anishinaabemowin, as well as a pike to reflect the Maashginoozhe clan, a human profile to symbolize ancestral connections, and a portal to signify the link to culture and tradition. It uses Gidigaa Migizi’s colours: Deep blue, green, and turquoise. Trent plans to open the college in 2028.
