Metallic Key Chain by Indigenous Artists

The artists, or their estates, receive a royalty on each and every metallic keychain sold.

Chipewyan Dene artist John Rombough is recognized as a role model throughout Northwest Territories and takes his role very seriously. His paintings are instrumental in conveying a message to the youth, a message of encouragement, leadership, strength, will power, and determination. New cultural discoveries continue to provide him with an inexhaustible reservoir of ideas to put to canvas.

Kim McDonough is a Mi’kmaw artist from Toronto, Canada, who belongs to Membertou First Nation in Unama’ki (Cape Breton Island). Having trained and worked as a digital artist, her brightly coloured paintings resonate with harmony and connection, filled with Indigenous imagery, symbolism, spirit animals, and florals designs. 

Dawn Oman was born in Yellowknife, North West Territories, of Yellowknives Dene and Welsh descent. Directly descended from Chief Snuff, who signed Treaty 8 with the Canadian Government, she began to draw as a means of silently amusing herself and staying out of her foster families' way. Since then, Dawn has exhibited across North America, opened her own Studio Gallery, and won awards and important commissions for her artwork. The Royal Canadian Mint Limited Edition 50 Cent Collectors coin in the 2003 Festival Series commemorating the Great Northern Arts Festival features Dawn's "Rising Star."
