Gerald Gloade, consultation manager with Millbrook First Nation, visited the Mi'kmaw community's deer hunt site in January.in Truro, N.S., saw hundreds of pounds of meat shared with people in need, and offered a learning opportunity for youth in the neighbouring Mi'kmaw community.
"It was conducted safely and ethically and we were able to put about 700 pounds of … free lean meat on people's tables," Gloade said.Two deer blinds at the Millbrook site used in Truro's second-ever municipal cull aimed at managing the area's high deer population. The project has also given the First Nation some inspiration around how treaty harvesting rights and food security can overlap, Gloade said, which is timely as they work on a food strategy for Millbrook."As soon as we did this, we had like a bunch of elders reach out to us and say, 'Hey, it would be great if you get me some rabbit,'" Gloade said with a laugh.
