Synopsis:

This flag features the message that Every Child Matters.

Carol Louie, well known Ktunaxa artist, provided the art for the feather and ideas for the design. Robert Louie (Ktunaxa) and Denice Louie (Athabascan) completed the design work in collaboration with their summer youth worker Gabe Kobasiuk (Cree).

Robert Louie is a residential school survivor. Most of his siblings also went to residential school. “The heart with the broken lines was used to show how the residential school affected our people, our connections, our teachings. Though fractured, the hearts of our people continue and remain strong. And in all of our hearts, at the center of our communities are the little ones, our future – represented by the child’s hand. The eagle feather honours and recognizes all the children who were forced into residential school.”

These flags are 36″ x 72″ (standard size flag) and come with grommets on the top and bottom of the left side. They have been approved by the Orange Shirt Society and have been smudged with sweetgrass and sage to honour the missing and the survivors of Residential schools.
