The logo was designed by Dallin Maybe (Seneca/Araphaho) who previously resided in Ibapah, Utah. Dalliln is a champion traditional dancer who has performed throughout the United States. He is presently attending law school.
The medicine wheel is central to the concept design and provided the framework for the emblem. Within the circle via the quadrants lie representations of both the mountain plains culture (Ute and Shoshoni) and desert cultures (Goshute, Paiute and Navajo) of Utah's American Indians; and both the ancient cultures of the Pre-Puebloan/Anasazi and the Fremont.
The two eagle feathers attached to the sides of the shield and the tobacco ties at the bottom represent balance and the need for peace and equilibrium in the world.
The lines dividing the circle into quadrants represent the cardinal directions. The sacred colors (white, red, yellow and black) represent the major raced of man. The lines intersecting in the middle or center are interpreted to mean that all humans are truly brothers and sisters because we possess the same spirit that is a gift of the Creator.
