88% SOLD! Combines Odawa legend with hologram technology!

The many bands that comprise the Algonquin people share a number of stories about the awe-inspiring northern lights—including a cultural hero known as Nanahboozho, who would often shape-shift into the Great Hare. One such Odawa legend says that after creating Turtle Island, Nanahboozho travelled north and built great bonfires as a way to remind his people that he was thinking of them.

We have crafted a gorgeous coloured hologram coin that celebrates the warmth of this historical legend. Given its uniqueness and beauty, your coin is sure to sell out quickly. Don't delay: order yours today!
