Best Answer

The "sideways 8" has two potential meanings.

1: one half of the eight represents europeans, the other represents aboriginals. the two circles joined together represent both the aboriginal and European ancestry of the metis people.

2: the "8" can also be interpreted as an infiniti sign, representing the bond between europeans and aboriginals to be everlasting.

hope that helps!

The symbol for Metis, known as the infinity symbol or the double infinity, represents the interconnectedness of the past, present, and future generations of Metis people. It embodies the idea of continuity and the ongoing nature of Metis culture and identity.
