2014 - $20 - Fine Silver Coin - The Seven Sacred Teachings #1 : Love

First Nations People across Canada have long marvelled at the eagle's unique vision and many groups have selected it to represent “love,” one of the Seven Sacred Teachings for a full and happy life. Love is the key and the reason for life. But it's more than that special connection between two people. It's also the care and affection one feels for oneself. Self-love propels people towards their destiny; it inspires them to be the best they can be.

Open your heart and soar like an eagle! When you love life, you will reach unimaginable heights—and discover unbound appreciation and connection with every living thing.

Love is one of the Seven Sacred Teachings that honour the traditional concepts of respect and sharing that are the cornerstones of Aboriginal life. While variations of these teachings do exist throughout North America, this diversity only enriches them and underscores the universality of their wisdom.

Embrace your inner eagle—and soar! Collect all 7 Sacred Teachings Coins—love, respect, courage, honesty, wisdom, humility and truth—an outstanding celebration of First Nations wisdom and art.
