Dedicated to Indian Country:
The Symbolism Behind Our Design
Akana is derived from the Arikara Indian concepts of akana’u (to build) and akaana’ (lodge). The Akana symbol reflects our identity and mission. The vertical “rainbow” is composed of four opposing bars symbolizing the four seasons and stages of life: birth, youth, adulthood, and death. The white square represents the cardinal directions, while the inner square honors the many tribal nations we serve. Encircling all is the Circle of Life—a commitment to continuity, stewardship, and community.
At the heart of Akana is our commitment to community. We demonstrate this through our work with Native American Tribes.
