Pell'iq't Logo

The Logo is a great representation of the Pellt'iq't People, our great ancestors who held animal powers inherited from generation to generation from the great creator.

The following are the main animal powers that were held by our ancestors that are commemorated in our logo:

The Bear - Strength and family

The Wolf - Alertness and great instinct

The Eagle - Strength and freedom. This great symbol is utilized by all First Nations as a strong representative of what we stand for.

The Fish - Power to Heal, alertness, family and memory.

The Water - Is the giver of Life. This prodigious symbol is one of the four directions, a gift from the great creator.

The Pine Branch - The Territory of IR#4, our current location. This significant symbol was recently adopted by the fifth generation.
