Manitoba museum repatriates sacred headdress to…


A sacred headdress that belonged to generations of leaders of a First Nation in southern Manitoba is being returned.

The headdress first worn by the former chief of Long Plain First Nation, Frank Merrick, and passed down to other chiefs, including his son Angus Merrick, had been stored at a heritage centre.

Former chief Dennis Meeches transferred the headdress to the Fort la Reine Museum in Portage la Prairie, Man., as a way to preserve it.
