geocachingdragon quoted:

"This is my third personal coin and is probably my most personal coin.
I grew up on the west coast of Canada and always loved and admired Haida Art.
Now, there is no Dragon in Haida Mythology so I tried to remain true to the this style
and still produce something new and interesting.

The moons and crescents on the outside of the dragon is a doodle that I have done since
I was in school and is more my personal style than it is true to the style of art,
but liked the effect. The back picture is my artwork of a Raven in a black canoe.
The Raven is a very powerful and wonderful spirit from Haida Mythology.

I hope this coin will inspire people to look at this style of art as well as read the mythology of the Haida people. It is full of interesting and fun stories of working with animals and the environment, such as we do with Geocaching and CITO.
There is a saying by Chief Seattle said more than 150 years ago, but is still incredibly poignant today:
Teach your children what we have taught ours, that the earth is our mother.
Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. The earth does not belong to man; man belongs to the earth.
Man did not weave the web of life; he is merely a strand in it.
We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children."
