The goose hunt has been an integral part of Aboriginal life for thousands of years. Every autumn and spring, communities located along migration paths would turn tothe sky for this treasured food source that could provide as much as four months' supply for somecoastal communities.
Hunters would read the weather to anticipate the arrival of the geese, even watch the melting ice and exposed water to predict where the geese would land. Thehunt often lasted for days and was a special time of sharing between generations, highlighted by ritesof passage as young men hunted on their own for the first time.

Design:
Cree artist Tim Whiskeychan has created a wonderful design of a traditional Aboriginal hunter taking aimat a pair of Canada geese with his bow and arrow. He is wearing traditional Cree clothing. The hunter is hiding behind tall grass that would typically border a body of water where boreal forest meets grasslands. The snow melt on the water suggests this is a springtime goose hunt.
