Albino moose to be honoured in Mi'kmaq ceremony - Nova Scotia - CBC News: Bob Gloade, chief of Millbrook First Nation, said the hunters who killed the animal in Cape Breton have turned over the hide. It will be honoured in a four-day ceremony starting next Thursday.
“They’re going to set an altar where the hide will be. There will be offerings and there will be prayers,” he said. “It’s a way of releasing the spirit of the animal back to its rightful place.”
The albino animal is sacred in Mi'kmaq culture and the widespread images of its carcass last week upset many people. The hunters did not know about the animal's significance.
Emmett Peters, a Mi’kmaq elder, will lead the ceremony. He holds a regular sweat lodge ceremony in Dartmouth and the ritual will start there.
