This is a newly designed purple satin graduation stole/sash, featuring a smooth and glossy material. It is divided into two sides, each with a unique design that embodies cultural and school characteristics.

There are three golden line patterns from top to bottom:

1. Feather: A vertical feather pattern, with simple and smooth lines, is a common symbol in Native American culture, often representing wisdom, honor, and spiritual strength.

2. Inuksuk/Inukshuk, a human-shaped landmark made of stacked stones, is a symbolic emblem of Arctic indigenous culture, representing guidance, protection, and community spirit.

3. The "" symbol, representing infinity, is often used in Indigenous cultures (especially in the Dual-Spirit/Mikmaq culture) to signify eternal connection, the endless cycle of life, and also symbolizes the continuation of culture and identity.

Right side with banner (school logo area)

Above is the official logo of **Burman University**: a red square emblem with a building pattern + the white text "BURMAN UNIVERSITY".

At the bottom, there is a four-colored horizontal stripe, running from top to bottom: yellow, red, black, and white. This color scheme is a classic "medicine wheel" color scheme in the culture of Indigenous Peoples in Canada, especially among the Plains tribes such as the Cree. It symbolizes different stages of life, directions, and spiritual beliefs.

Overall design interpretation

This ribbon combines the official identity of Bowman College with Canadian Indigenous cultural symbols, embodying the honor of graduation while expressing respect and inheritance for local culture. The overall color scheme is unified (purple background + gold pattern, paired with the school badge and cultural ribbon), making it highly memorable.
