What symbols from your culture represent belonging? Six Indigenous UBC students were invited to visually represent cultural symbols that hold deep meaning in their identities, histories, and traditional teachings.
The Faculty of Arts and the First Nations House of Learning are honoured to showcase and celebrate these student artists as knowledge-keepers. From traditional beadwork and Formline Design to pictographs, native plants, and the language of ceremony, each artist connects deeply to their Indigenous heritage and lands through artistic practice.
Whether honouring grandparents through images of eagles and grizzlies, teaching children the foundation of ovoids, or gathering around a kitchen table to create beadwork, these works express the intergenerational resilience and vibrancy of Indigenous Nations across the country.
