The Sacred Seven
Artwork by Zane Flores (By Zane)
This piece represents the Seven Sacred Teachings — guiding values that encourage us to live in balance with ourselves, our communities, and the natural world. Through the animals surrounding the central warrior shield, Zane honours the teachings of:
🦅 Kesalul – Love
🐺 Mlkna – Bravery
🐢 Tetpaqaq – Truth
🦶 Koqajq’teken – Honesty
🦬 Kepmite’teken – Respect
🦫 Nsituo’qn – Wisdom
🐻 Wanqwajite’teken – Humility
At the centre, the warrior shield symbolizes strength, protection, resilience, and the responsibility of carrying these teachings throughout our lives. The circular design reflects the interconnectedness of all living beings and reminds us that learning and growth are lifelong journeys.
During National Indigenous History Month, we celebrate the knowledge, values, and teachings that have guided Indigenous Peoples for generations and continue to strengthen communities today.
