The Manitou Stone is an ancient meteorite, weighing in at 150 kilograms. For many people, the 4-billion year old Manitou Stone is considered to be a sacred object. Some people say you can see the face of creator in it.
The stone was revered by First Nations, but in the 1800’s, it was taken by missionaries and shown across Canada. Until 1972, when it was put on display at the Royal Alberta Museum.
Now that the museum is closed as construction of the new museum continues, some are wondering where the stone will go next.
As Chris Stewart explains, some people don’t think the stone belongs in a museum.
