Abstract:
Syilx Okanagan and Musqueam symbols are now a part of the University of B.C.’s academic regalia. In 2019, the university approached the Musqueam and Syilx Nation to collaborate on a design to add to the school’s robes. Earlier this year, UBC put a call out for artists to create the design, with Chrystal Sparrow, a Musqueam artist, being chosen. According to the university, the new design acknowledges the relationship between UBC and the host nations of each respective campus.
