1967 Canadian Centennial Indian Friendship Medallionindian_friendship

Released as a souvenir of the Canadian Centennial this coin celebrates the treaties and land settlements created by the Canadian Government. Still in serious dispute, this issue is a hot topic and one that this medal does little to honour.

“In 1967 we got our first (in my living memory) alternate series with the Centennial coins, by artist Alex Colville, which remain our most beautifully designed set to date. Simple, well-rendered artwork, uniformly framed by some decent type. (How hard can it be?)…” Click for more

This double quilt was made by Ontario Mennonites in 1967. The four corners of the quilt are made from varied dress material of the day and the rest of the quilt is made of the red and white house motifs. It has been well used and cared for – I was fortunate to speak with the original owner who was in the shop when I purchased it.
