“It started in Kamloops and then in Cowessess, and at that time we had some staff here internally that wanted to just show their support for the project … as an Indigenous-owned business,” said Treena Amyotte, Pro Metal Industries business development director.
“The staff came up with this idea that we produce a metal feather and that we could donate the proceeds to a cause.”The orange feather consists of a boy and a girl, moccasins, a sun and a pair of wings. The two children are pictured wearing their traditional attire, along with a pair of moccasins to represent their journey home to the spirit world, with a sun to guide them and a pair of wings to symbolize that they are angels now.
