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 Métis flag is typically blue with a variation of the infinity symbol in the center.
It is either a blue or red flag with an infinity sign in the middle. The blue represents the Hudson Bay Company, the red symbolizes the north west trading company. The color depends on who those people traded with. The infinity sign represents the two cultures (french and aboriginal) together in an everlasting bond.
The Metis people lived long ago,but not when dinosaurs were around,right?
