Kineo
A traditional Wabanaki story goes back thousands of years and tells how Gluskape shrank the massive animals to their current size. It tells of giant squirrels, beavers, and other animals we now understand today to be megafauna, which lived alongside us during the ice age. One moose refused to be shrunken down and escaped Gluskape. The story tells how his hunt for this moose shaped the landscape. It is also an origin story for when we first received dogs as helpers. Pictured here is Mt. Kineo, which was formed when Gluskap tipped over his cooking kettle after having cooked the moose. This piece honors the spirit of that first moose hunt.
