The Warrior Flag has become a symbol of Indigenous Resistance since its creation from coast to coast. The Mi’kmaq warrior society has adopted and flown the flag during all front-line resistance movements against the Canadian government, starting in the year 1999 with the Esgenoôpetitj lobster dispute. Raven felt compelled to design The Sma’kin’sk Flag in honor of her warrior ancestors, inspired by Louis Hall’s life's work. Unlike Kanien'kehaka, Mi’kmaq have very few depictions of warriors from colonial times, so in order to create this depiction of a Mi’kmaw man’s profile, Raven has researched extensively, spending hours reading through archives and academic journals, while also looking through hundreds of Mi’kmaq artifacts and cross examining her research with early depictions of warriors from neighboring nations, also considering oral histories passed down to her from her Mitata (me•da•da). The Sma’kin’sk Flag stands as Raven’s final rendition of a Mi’kmaq adaptation of the original Warrior Flag, honoring her ancestors and designating a new symbol of Mi’kmaq resilience and pride.
