Description
-
One female head and one young male head.
Food was shared throughout the camp. Muzzle, tongue, brain, hooves: all were consumed. The muzzle was braised over a fire. The brain could be used to soften the moose hide for tanning.
Hunting took place all year round, and when you wanted food, you went and got it. If the animal is uncovered, it's a sign that it is giving itself or has been given to the hunter by the deity so that he can feed his family.
Today, hooves, teeth, bones and plumes are used for handicrafts.
Mos is the king of the forest. It is believed that he has no gall bladder and never sleeps to keep an eye on the forest.
