Glooscap Leaving The People

When the time came for Glooscap to leave the Mi’kmaq, it is said that he left on a great whale.

“I left a message to Nikmaq
In the caves of stone
My home.
The message says I go away
But will return someday
And the sun will again shine
Across the trails my people walk.
Kluskap O’kom.”
