Introduction to the Graphic Identifier

for the Meadow Lake First Nations

We are pleased to introduce the new Meadow Lake First Nations Governance logo. From time immemorial, First Nations have utilized the age-old skill of mnemonics (pronounced ni-'män-iks). This logo brings a story from our memories.

It is full of meaning starting with the sunrise. The sunrise brings a new day. This new day provides a chance to improve on the day before. Along with the new day come new challenges. These challenges can be overcome by our people as a whole.

The sun rays each represent our bands. In the middle is a picture of a family in their birch bark canoe. Both the Cree and Dene shared resources, technologies, sciences, medicines, and governance to maintain peace, friendship and partnerships. The waters, trees and land represent the wealth of our resources and that we must continue to adapt in order to prosper and flourish on our lands.
