Recherche dans la collection - Original Logo Design for the Royal Commission of Aboriginal Peoples [multiple media]

Accession consists of records created and/or maintained by the Royal Commission of Aboriginal Peoples.

The accession consists of the original artwork created by Ojibway artist, Joseph Sagutch,a 35-year-old Ojibway artist from Toronto, Ontario, to be used as the logo for the Commission.

About the Logo: Elders, men, women and children from all groups are the figures depicted joining hands in a circle, which symbolizes unity, wholeness, and a continuous journey. Within the circle is a bear paw, which in Aboriginal cultures is symbolic of healing energy. This design illustrates the desire for a renewed relationship between all Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people in Canada and is therefore representative of the work of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal People.

The logo was chosen from among 51 entries, by representatives of First Nations and Métis people, Inuit and non-Aboriginal people.

Date obtained from signature of artist in corner of the art ('92).
