national indigenous people's day logo winner
National Indigenous Peoples Day 2026 - “KEEPER OF THE SEASONS – HONOURING THE SUMMER SOLTICE”
We are thrilled to congratulate artist Rachel Drager on winning the logo contest for NIPD 2026.
Rachel Drager is a part Cree and part European artist living on the traditional lands of the səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) Peoples. Her family has lived on the Coast Salish territories for four generations and across Canada for as long as family history is known.
Rachel’s learning and inspiration come from the land and the natural living sources around her. She also learns through city and community websites, local establishments, and by connecting with community members wherever she goes throughout the Coast Salish, Stl'atl'imc, Secwépemc, and Tsilhqot'in Nations. These relationships, along with the research and connections she receives while living here, help shape and inspire her work.
Her art created for the Fraser River Indigenous Society reflects the thoughtfulness and understanding she has developed through learning about the organization and the lands connected to it.

It was our honour to host and welcome you to the opening of the Fraser River All Nations Aboriginal Society work space on January 24, 2018. Our path forward takes us to a strength bases self-determination approach. Our hopes to redress the harms done under the systems of the Residential Schools, 60's Scoop and programs which broke the chain of families caring for their children. Entering a new era of commitment, we see the potential for partnerships which strive to promote a generation of families raising their own children.
Over the past years we created a foundation within the community to provide valued services.
