At our Indigenizing the Academy Gathering, four western red cedars were donated by Brian Minter. They are planted in the North, South, East, or West. Each Universitypresent at the Gathering will choose a tree and attach its name to a tree and its corresponding direction.
The Cedars represent the beginning of the work that is being done at our Gathering and in our Institutions, and symbolize the end of the old ways; as they grow they will reflect our growth, and the laying to rest of colonized education.
