“The first time I saw the regalia, pictures don’t do it justice,” said Millbrook First Nation Chief Bob Gloade. “What it represents and what it means and the artwork that’s been involved in the regalia, everything just came to life.”
Community members gathered at the Millbrook Cultural and Heritage Centre for the unveiling of historic regalia repatriated from Australia. [...]
“It was just an overwhelming amount of happiness, sadness and such,” said the Centre’s manager Heather Stevens. “Sad because it’s been gone for so long from our people and it’s taken so long to get it back. But I’m happy and over the moon because it’s here for our people.” [...]
