Religious Traditions of the Micmac of Newfoundland: http://www.mun.ca/rels/hrollmann/native/micmac/mic5.html
Summary: The occurrence was taken as an omen of misfortune, because the boy should not have killed a black weasel in winter-time, the animal not being in its proper hue. Soon the Red Indian boy was missed by his people, and after searching for several days they found his body lying near the big canoe.

http://www.nativeweb.org/NativeTech
The present day Mi'kmaq reside in these geographical areas, including Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, and the Gaspe peninsula of Quebec, though some scholars believe that the Mi'kmaq occupancy of the Gaspe may have been more recent than in the other areas.
