Description
This multi-purpose zippered pouch holds your cosmetics, art supplies, toiletries, snacks, jewelry, charging cords, and anything else you can think of. Ideal for travel or storage. Not only is it convenient, it carries a more profound meaning with the 'Every Child Matters' design on the front. To learn more about the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, visit our blog, "A Truth Not Fully Told" featuring this pouch. 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 pouch is made from 100% recycled plastic bottles and measures 27 cm x 18.5 cm (10.5" x 7").
