Comment
Able to pass on its knowledge from one generation to the next, the killer whale is one of the most intelligent of mammals. Spectacular at sea, they hunt in packs of up to thirty individuals. Pollution and habitat loss threaten this formidable animal, the object of an immemorial cult among the First Nations of the Northwest Coast.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.
