Lethbridge College unveils Indigenous Kodiaks logo
LETHBRIDGE, AB – A new Indigenous logo has been unveiled for Lethbridge College’s gym.
The post-secondary school says it will be the first in the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) to incorporate Indigenous culture in its gymnasium floor design.
It was designed by Blackfoot artist Monte Eagle Plume. He says the arrow starting at the mouth of the painted drawing of a bear represents the life force of the animal and all that it uses to sustain itself.
Fans in the Val Matteotti Gymnasium will also see the word Aikowania (ay-GO-aww-nya) on one side of the court next to the bear.
