Is it a Tradition or a myth?
Is it a real `tradition` in North America (United States and Canada) for a hunter to drink the blood of the first animal he killed (Elk, Moose, etc) or it`s just a myth?? In the movie movie Red Dawn (1984) a character told to another to drink the blood of the animal because it was the first he killed. Is that true??
Not 100% consistent. Some believe it’s a holdover from much older times and potentially Native Americans where killing was considered a sacred act and you could transfer life forces, etc. Other consider it almost a gag if you can get someone to drink blood or smear it on their face or whatever.
It is highly likely that at least once upon a time in human history there was such a belief/practice somewhere though — life and transferring life forces and taking on powers was something commonly believed many places, and carried over elsewhere into headhunting practices and wearing animal teeth and claws and all that.
