Kristy Anderson
"Family"
This
banner shows a tree with water droplets falling off of it. Each droplet
has a symbol to represent me, my father, my
grandfather and my great grandfather.
To
me, the north means nature so I put in trees and water droplets. The
north also makes me think of strong families who tough out the long
winters and enjoy the summer days with us. This
is why I incorporated family in the banner.
My great
grandfather, Nels Anderson, pioneered in Red Lake. I wanted to
incorporate him in my banner somehow so I made symbols for him and his
son, grandson and me, his great grand daughter.
