Description

Carry your essentials with purpose in this 'Every Child Matters' recycled eco-bag. To learn more about the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, visit our blog, "A Truth Not Fully Told" featuring this bag. Sturdy, spacious, and vivid in colour, this eco-friendly reusable tote keeps items safe with a zippered top, inside pocket, and water-resistant surface. The hand design was an idea from local high school teachers. They had asked the artist, Gitxsan Michelle Stoney, to create a design to honour the local survivors. In the palm is Stigyoden, the local mountain in the Gitxsan Nation in Northern British Columbia. Surrounding the mountain are flowers, which in our language are called majagalee, meaning children. And on top, representing the fingers are the feathers, which honour the children who never made it home. Each bag is made with 100% recycled plastic bottles and measures 39 cm deep (15"), 34.5 cm wide (14"), with a 10 cm gusset (4").
