BOSTON BAR FIRST NATION
When I first set out to create a new logo for Boston Bar First Nation, I knew this wasn’t just about designing a symbol—it was about telling a story, one that reflects the deep cultural roots, traditions, and resilience of the community.
This project was an opportunity to explore my heritage, research Indigenous art traditions, and create a design that truly represents the strength and identity of Boston Bar First Nation. Here’s how it all came together.

Before I even began sketching, I immersed myself in studying Indigenous artists and art styles that have shaped visual storytelling in First Nations communities. Some of the key influences included:
- Bill Reid & Robert Davidson – Masters of Haida formline art, known for their precision and traditional design elements.
- Daphne Odjig – Her fluid, abstract lines bring an emotional depth to Indigenous art.
- Frieda Diesing – A leading figure in Tsimshian art, known for her bold use of formline design.
- Alan Syliboy – Inspired by Mi’kmaq petroglyphs, his work embraces symbolism and storytelling.
By
studying these artists, I gained a deeper appreciation for the
symbolism, symmetry, and storytelling traditions found in Indigenous design. This research helped shape the creative direction of the logo.
