Aboriginal 6 Nations creation "myth" based on exposed fossil coral bed. This continent of prehistoric fossil coral reaches from the Florida Keys to Ontario in Canada.
North America has significant prehistoric coral reefs, but from vastly different eras: Florida's are younger, from the Pleistocene (ice age) and Holocene, forming the bedrock of the Keys like Windley Key State Park, while Ontario's are much older, Devonian (400M yrs ago) and Silurian (440M yrs ago) reefs found inland at places like Rockwood & Rock Point Provincial Parks. These fossils show how ancient marine environments shifted, leaving behind fossilized coral structures and limestone layers in both regions.
Key Differences
Age: Ontario's are vastly older (hundreds of millions of years) compared to Florida's (thousands to a million years).
Location: Ontario's are inland, exposed by erosion, while Florida's form the foundation of the Keys.
Rock Type: Florida's are often agate-replaced coral, while Ontario's are typical Paleozoic limestone.

Get the Coral Island mug.A term used to describing a specific demographic of people from the Big Island of Hawai'i (i.e. Hawai'i island, Moku o Keawe/Kilaueau, Da Big Island) who are not afraid to engage in physical altercations with other human beings.
It is estimated that the Big Island has generated the most bangaz out of any other Hawaiian Island within the archipelago.
Usually trained from a young age in hand to hand combat, with varying degrees of measure, styles and fighting philosophy. Big Island Bangaz at a minimum, will fight and "willfully" engage in a proper "physical duel" while even respecting the boundaries of the opponent.
The term "Big Island Bangaz" originated as a means to unify the island of Hawai'i during a brief time known to a few as the "warring districts" period. A decades long era where fights over districts were common with even more fights breaking out amongst smaller communities within the districts themselves.
Exacerbating this aggression was the trend of uploading those fights to youtube and more specifically, tilting them by "district vs district" although many videos have been taken down thanks to the YouTube reporting feature, some are still viewable today and serve as historical evidence from a brief era within a uniquely diverse community that still faces the hardships of being an island state. Thanks to harmonious leadership by those seeking to unify the community the trend has largely vanished but embers remain that server as a reminder to a fiery times past.
