Vigil for the Aketamekw Woman
Lead her by the hand, Great Spirit, You who have room for us all; And bring many children and horses with You To honor her and requite her For the suffering she endured.
She crosses over
Meet her with "You shall never again wander bereft through your land. You shall feast with us, we who love you I who know every fiber of your being And declared you good on the day you were born."
Let her also see all the descendants she didn't know she had.
Lead her to all her relatives, Who have prepared a place of peace for her.
May she then rest in the great arms and deep fellowship Of this company And may we also be comforted
And may the Land also, and all it contains Be comforted
