They create a world reimagined.

They connect ancestors to our children.

“The image depicted in Indigenous Impact Company logo shares a symbolic visual representation of a sun rising along the Great Plains horizon. The green earth symbols—with white horse tracks in the center—represent the hills, bluffs, and mountain ranges along the prairie. Above the green earth symbols stretches a blue line that represents the rivers and water-systems housed in the Plains. The half red circle depicts the rise of the sun, which sits behind the white symbols of homes and a sprouting root. The four triangles signify the homes of the Indigenous Great Plains nations. The sprouting root in the center of the four triangles depicts a seed blooming above the ground’s surface. A seed blossoming shares the energy of tribal nation flourishment and energy of growth for the future generations to come.  The blue line outside of the sun symbolizes the sky with repeated feather symbols to demonstrate the rays of sun. Each feather symbol represents a person who carries a feather, traditional name, or holds cultural knowledge and values of Great Plains indigeneity.”
