Tia’m (moose) is an important traditional food for Mi’kmaq families.
NSMTC has received $150,000 to study whether pesticides are showing up in moose in New Brunswick, including DDT used in the past and glyphosate, which is still used in forestry today.
The study will test moose liver samples from the Miramichi area and Acadian Peninsula. It will also include knowledge from Elders, hunters, Knowledge Holders, and community members about moose, harvesting areas, changes on the land, and concerns about pesticides. What we learn will be shared back with communities and leadership to help guide conversations about moose and what needs to happen next.
