-As told by Tribal Elder Elma Wilkie
The Thunderbird and Turtle are at the center of the four sacred directions of the universe which are aligned with the spiritual ways of the Medewiwin. Mis-skwa (red) stands for the South. Muk-a-day (black) stands for the West. Wabish-ka’ (white) stands for the North. Oza-wahn’ (yellow) stands for the East. These colors represent the four races of man that the Creator placed on the earth.
During the 2012-13 Academic Year, TMCC began a branding process, which included adopting a new logo. Through this process the original interpretation of the TMCC logo was revisited and studied and as a result, the new logo did not change. Rather it was redesigned to enhance and compliment the spiritual essence of the college.
