A note on Appreciation vs. Appropriation. Is it appropriate to wear Métis artwork if you are not Métis? Yes! Provided the work has been created by a Métis person (rather than appropriated for the sake of consumerism), it is absolutely okay. It shows an appreciation for the work, as well as support for the Artist. Supporting Indigenous Artists is one of many ways to be a good ally.

Design: The five-petal flower represents all Métis children who attended residential schools. The infinity symbol is small, as if it’s hiding and represents holding onto the culture while trying not to forget who you are. The Métis flowers are blooming and encircling the flower and infinity symbol as a representation of the enduring strength of Métis culture and identity.
