Comment

Bison have fed Canada's aboriginal peoples for thousands of years. For young boys, taking part in the hunt for the first time was a milestone and a rite of passage. We can imagine their excitement as they listened to fascinating hunting stories, as well as their eagerness during the hours spent making arrows, an exercise in patience and discipline to master the essentials: a carefully crafted arrow, a focused mind, the eye to hit the target. Finally, nature gave the signal that the time had come. The boys, belly down, were about to experience their first hunt.

The piece presents a magnificent picture of a buffalo hunt involving an unexpected event: the presence of a sacred white buffalo in the middle of the herd.

Le bison a nourri les peuples autochtones du Canada pendant des milliers d'années. Pour les jeunes garçons, le moment de participer à la chasse pour la première fois était une étape et un rite de passage marquants. On peut s'imaginer leur excitation tandis qu'ils écoutaient les fascinantes histoires de chasse, de même que leur impatience durant les heures passées à fabriquer des flèches, un exercice de patience et de discipline pour maîtriser l'essentiel : une flèche confectionnée avec soin, un esprit concentré, l'œil pour toucher la cible. Enfin, la nature donnait le signal que le temps était venu. Les garçons, ventre contre terre, allaient vivre leur première chasse.

La pièce présente un magnifique tableau de chasse au bison impliquant un événement inattendu : la présence d'un bison blanc sacré au milieu du troupeau.

Emballage :
La pièce est encapsulée et présentée dans un boîtier à double coque bordeaux rembourré et orné du logo de la Monnaie royale canadienne. Celui-ci est assorti d'un fourreau protecteur noir.
