This logo was designed by Katie Mostoller (Cherokee). She says, "the many colors represent the many peoples and ways of living that are represented in this website. The multi colored string binding the sage shows how we can work with each other to hold together what is sacred. Although we look and live differently, we can come together in this website to preserve and enact our indigeneity".
