It was seen as an object that was not of this earth but from the stars.We deliver the local news you need in these turbulent times on weekdays at 3 p.m.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
This act of theft was very serious for the First Nations on the plains. The spiritual people who had protected the stone prophesied that four disasters would be visited upon the First Nations if the stone was disturbed. They predicted starvation, disease, imprisonment, and war. The sacred rock became the property of the University of Toronto and was placed in the Royal Ontario Museum. In 1972 it was “loaned” to the Royal Alberta Museum, where it remains on display.
Now the sacred stone has come full circle. First Nations philosophy is based on the concept of the circle. My father used to say that we came from the stars, and we will return to the stars.
