At the heart of prairie culture and ecology
Once dominant on the western plains, wood bison provided food and materials for Native American communities, which collapsed when white man's hunting decimated the great herds. While conservation efforts have begun to rebuild populations, we're still a long way from the million bison of yesteryear.
Show your passion for Canada's wilderness... rich in treasures to be preserved
Nature is magnificent in Canada. These splendid pieces showcase classic (and endangered!) specimens with the cutting-edge artistry that made the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games medals world-famous.
Renowned Native American artist Corrine Hunt has embraced traditional Tlingit and Kwakwaka'wakw motifs to create a special edition of collectible artworks. A visual poem, each drawing brings to the ancestral values of conservation and respect a contemporary expression marked by the power of the line and the studied simplicity of the composition.
In 2011, proclaimed International Year of Forests, it's time to reflect on nature's role in combating global warming and preserving environmental balance.
