Terminology
On this site, the term most commonly used to refer to First Nation, Métis and Inuit people as a single group is “Indigenous.” Where “Aboriginal” has been used, it is because the term still applies in the context in which it is used.
Ovoid graphic
The ovoid graphic used on this site and the larger graphic on the homepage are taken from the First Nation House of Learning’s logo, designed by Tsimshian artist Glen Wood (see below), which is also shared with Xwi7xwa Library. The ovoid is a common shape used in Northwest Coast Indigenous art and is used here in association with Indigenous initiatives at UBC Vancouver and its location in the Pacific Northwest.
