Artemis 2 patch fuses Indigenous wisdom with sasquatch symbolism

Canada’s Artemis 2 patch for astronaut Jeremy Hansen, designed by Anishinaabe artist Henry Guimond, blends Indigenous knowledge with Artemis imagery—from a seven-law heptagon and animals including a sasquatch representing honesty to Grandmother Moon, Turtle Island, the Big Dipper and North Star, plus the Canadian flag and an Orion-border—highlighting Indigenous perspectives and Canada’s role as Hansen prepares to become the first non‑American to fly around the Moon.
