Nipissing First Nation Chief Scott McLeod is appealing to those who stole his SUV early Saturday morning in Mississauga to return the sacred headdress that was inside.
“There was a lot of work and significance behind every piece of fabric, every porcupine quill, eagle feather and pelt used to create this,” McLeod said. “This is the identity of our nation. This is what represents my community. It’s not just a showpiece.”
McLeod said the headdress was created eight years ago when he first became chief and is a one-of-a-kind. Peel police said McLeod’s 2022 green Jeep Wrangler with Ontario licence plate CFRV260, was stolen from the Sandman Signature Mississauga hotel in the area of Dixie Rd. and Matheson Blvd. The headdress was reconstructed after more than two years of research by elders, academics, historians and geographers, according to the Nipissing First Nation’s statement.
