BUTTERFLY DESIGN - BRAD COLLINSON
The idea of the butterfly was brought to our attention by the
Late Margaret Hewer. The butterfly represents the messenger
of the departed souls. It is also said to be a symbol of the traveling Spirits, those departed and misplaced that are wandering about.
The design was created by the Late Brad Collinson and adopted
by our committee as our logo.
PITT RIVERS MUSEUM
In 2006, curator Laura Peers visited Haida Gwaii to initiate a partnership between the Haida and the Pitt Rivers Museum. We have since shared information and resources between the Haida and the PRM and are working towards a 2009 visit to the museum, where a Haida delegation will spend approximately two weeks – viewing our cultural treasures, sharing in our culture with staff and students, and most importantly, we will bring home the remains of an ancestor held in the PRM.
