Vigil for the Akitamekw Woman Thursday October 8th, 2020

                               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                     

For the loss of its Akitamekw Woman.
