A fancy dancer must possess athleticism and stamina to perform this freestyle dance, which may include spins, twirls, or even flips, all while staying in time with the drumbeats and chants. Fancy Dance regalia are elaborate and unique-every element is a deeply personal expression of one’s lineage, heritage, and/or personal journey. Typically, a fancy dancer wears colour-coordinated feather bustles: one behind the shoulders and another behind the hips, along with arm cuffs. A breastplate made from hair-pipe (bone) beads may be worn over the beaded bodice. The dancer’s moccasins may also be topped with bells that ring out with every spirited step, while the swaying feathers of the hair roach accentuate the physicality of it all. The purposeful movements of a powwow dancer stir the soul as they move to the rhythmic beat of the drum. Within the circle, complex footwork and acrobatic feats entertain. Tell a story-for every symbolic gesture isa shared heartbeat reaching out, connecting with every observer, in a powerful expression of identity, spirituality, and heritage.

The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt. The Fancy Dance originated in the United States-specifically, Oklahoma-during the early 20th century, when it was performed for entertainment purposes. It gradually caught on in other regions, and has since become one of the most popular dance categories at today’s competitive powwows, where dancers are judged for their dancing abilities. A fancy dancer’s hair roach may include eagle feathers, just like the bustles; but if one such feather should fall, the dancing is stopped and a special ceremony is held to retrieve this sacred object. Colours also carry special meaning: black is associated with death, the underworld or the night; bluecan represent a female, the sky, sadness, thunder or lightning. Green is the colour of the earth and plant life, of summers and rain. Red is the colour of blood and war, sunsets or thunder. White is associated with winter and snow, while yellow means sunshine and day. 99.99% pure silver. Garrison Garrow (reverse), Susanna Blunt (obverse).
For more than 200 years, there have been reports of an eerie apparition in Chaleur Bay (between New Brunswick and Quebec) and in the Northumberland Strait (between PEI and New Brunswick to Nova Scotia). The folklore comes to life on this coin as two local sailors push a dory into the rough surf. Some have theorized that the apparition is St. Others think it could be caused by a phosphorus discharge from the depths of Chaleur Bay, like the “will o’ the wisp” phenomenon, where a flame-like glow is seen at night in marshes and swampy areas.
