Check out the #InvictusGames #IG25 medals designed by Levi Nelson (Lil’ wat Nation), Mack Paul (Musqueam Nation), Ray Natraoro (Squamish Nation), and Olivia George (Tsleil-Waututh Nation).
Each medal comes with a hand-knit or crocheted wool carrying bag, made by fibre artists.
"We're playing host to the world and we're a major part of it," said Williams, a spokesperson and council member of the Squamish Nation. #SussexSquad #InvictusGames25
Got to capture a distinct moment with the #InvictusGames2025 medals that are stored in a traditional coast Salish bentwood box. And the medals themselves are cushioned and stored in a traditional woven “quarter bags”. They are stunning. Can’t wait to participate in a few medal ceremonies.
It’s was media day here at Invictus Village for the #InvictusGames2025 media from various countries. Proudly sharing our Four Host Nations inclusion in the games. It’s been a great journey to here & now we host the world on our territories. Chen Chen Stway (holding each other up through everything)
