BIO TO COME
The artist behind Our Logo
The Friends of Michel Society gratefully thanks Cheryl Smith for designing our logo. Her thoughtful work has created a meaningful symbol that reflects our history, our community, and the values that continue to bring us together. We thank Cheryl for sharing her talent and helping shape our visual identity.
The logo with the sun & feather at the top of the tipi is linked to 'The Sun Traveller' or Louis Caliheue (L'Iroquois), a Mohawk from Kahnawake, who was hired by the Northwest Company in 1800. Louis was a canoeman and later a steersman: the canoes and paddles pay homage to this history. Mountains allude to the Rocky Mountains and our connections to Jasper House.
