Our inclusive graphic embodies our four core values: relationships, responsibility, respect, and resilience.
Celebrating Indigenous values
Relationships
Inspired by two sacred Native American symbols, this illustration combines the four cardinal directions with traditional feathers to represent the trust, honor, wisdom, and strength necessary to cultivate relationships.
Responsibility
Signifying the beginning of a new day as it rises from the east, this sun represents responsibility as its rays reach over the earth. The sun is both dependable and accountable—essential aspects of responsibility.
Respect
Many Indigenous cultures feature water imagery in jewelry and other designs. This water droplet symbolizes the importance of respect, community approval, and honor.
Resilience
Corn, prominent in many Native American images, is a resilient crop that mirrors the strength of Indigenous Peoples. This cornstalk symbolizes the growth students experience with support in their education.
