"A great mentor and teacher of mine, Chief Robert Joseph Sr. wrote a beautiful message in his book, which reads, 'In my work on reconciliation, I香蕉视频直播檝e learnt there are two kinds of people. There are people who have suffered like I did, in the ways I did. And then there are the rest: good, caring people who listen to these stories and want to make things better, make things right.'香蕉视频直播�

After gaining support from Joseph, a hereditary chief of Gwawaenuk First Nation, Zuroski hopes to begin the process of bringing forward the design to the government, with the hopes of adding culture and community connections through Indigenous art to the B.C. brand.

I hope for cultural and community connections regarding this special rebrand. I feel all I can do now is wait," he said in the release.

He said that for 25 years, he's had a desire to add depth to visual and written messaging in workplaces, and he's been hoping to use his art to rebrand something bigger because "when we have a brand that has deep symbolism and purpose, we will feel and be accountable to that cause."
