*A bit more about the pin: it was designed by an Indigenous artisan, Brittany Gautier, who placed a spirit bead or two in each pin. Can you see your spirit bead? It is a small white bead. They are all in a different spot!
**A bit more about the posters: they were designed with an Indigenous designer, Mariah Meawasige, who modeled the design after the pins. The dots or small circles in the artwork represent beads - there is also a spirit bead in each poster!
