The hand was an idea from local high school teachers. They had asked the artist, Gitxsan Michelle Stoney, to create a design to honour the local survivors. In the palm of the hand is Stigyoden, the local mountain in the Gitxsan Nation in Northern British Columbia. Surrounding the mountain are flowers, which in our language we call majagalee , which also means children. And on the top, representing the fingers are the feathers, which honour the children who never made it home.
