The medals were designed by student Ella Scothorn, from the community of Hardwoodlands, and finalized by Mi’kmaq artist Tayla Fern Paul. George Marshall, president of the Games, says the design captures the spirit of the Games and of the host Mi’kmaq people. Scothorn, who created the initial medal design in Grade 6 and is now in Grade 9, says she is proud to see her drawings reproduced on the medals, especially the eight-pointed star representing the territory where competitors will gather.
“I was inspired by the Mi’kmaq star and its significance within Indigenous culture,” she said in a press release.
