The Canada goose is an iconic symbol of the wild in North America. The sound of the geese during their fall migration is a crystal stick of the landscape of the North American continent and symbolises the beauty and bounty of nature there. It has been an important mythical symbol for the aboriginals of this continent, and an integral part of their numerous stories, legends, songs, poems and contemporary art works.
Many aboriginal groups have a history of long association with Canada geese, making them an integral part of their unique culture. It has been recognised as a dominant wildlife symbol in both currency and postage stamps in Canada and the US, suggesting its abundance, beauty and importance within the socio-cultural life of North America.
The Canada goose represents more than just wildlife or an avian species from this continent, but an ethnic, economic and social cultural linkage to its people. This majestic species of bird is an iconic wildlife symbol for the spirit and vitality of the continent of North America and its incredible indigenous people.
