Designed by Gitxsan artist Michelle Stoney.
"The hand was an idea from local high school teachers. They had asked me to create a design to honour the local survivors. In the palm of the hand is Stigyoden , our local mountain in the Gitxsan Nation in Northern British Columbia. Surrounding the mountain are flowers, which in our language we call majagalee, which also means children. And on the top, representing the fingers are the feathers, which honour the children who never made it home."
