Commissioners to the 41st General Council gave overwhelming approval to a proposal to invite Aboriginal people to become signatories to the Basis of Union and to include changes
to the crest to recognize Aboriginal spirituality.
The crest changes include incorporating the four colours of the Aboriginal medicine wheel
and adding the Mohawk phrase “Akwe Nia’Tetewá:neren,” which means “all my
relations.”
The United Church crest, which will now include the colours yellow as a symbol of life and Asian people, black as a symbol of the south and dark-skinned people of the world, red as a symbol of the west and Aboriginal
peoples, and white as the colour of the north and white-skinned people.
