Symbolism
In Anishinaabe and other First Nations mythology, the Mishipeshu, or Mishibizhhiw, is a water-dwelling lynx- or panther-like creature complementary to the thunderbird. Here it indicates the potential power in bodies of water, and pays tribute to the traditions of the First Nations communities with which Gemini Power works. The branches refer to the local setting of Gemini’s projects, and the fact that aspen, poplar and birch are used by one of Gemini’s subsidiaries, Aspenware, to create compostable cutlery.
