Google is celebrating National Indigenous Peoples Day on Saturday with a totem pole-inspired doodle.
The tech company launches Google Doodles — temporary redesigns to the main page of Google’s search engine — as a way to inform and educate the public about important events and people, said a news release from Hill & Knowlton, a Montreal-based communications firm.
The doodle for this year’s National Indigenous Peoples Day was drawn up by Alano Edzerza, a Vancouver-based artist from the Tahltan Nation of British Columbia.
Totem poles “tell stories, commemorate events, or represent a family’s lineage and crests,” reads the news release, which goes on to describe the Doodle as a way to “recognize the history, heritage, resiliance and diversity of First Nations, Inuit and Metis Peoples.”
The poles are created by First Nations peoples of the Pacific Northwest of North America.
National Indigenous Peoples Day is celebrated across Canada annually on June 21.
Events are planned North and south to celebrate the day.
