Some have compared our symbology to the equivalent of a modern logo. When we see certain imagery, we have stored information that comes to the front of our minds. You may have seen signs, symbols or flags that you know are somehow relevant to your Indigenous neighbors but are unsure of the meanings. This course will take a look at the most common symbols, provide a description and meaning of each.
