You are invited to join us to learn and practice the Grandmother's Song in preparation for the walk and ceremony for The National Day of Truth and Reconciliation on September 30 (often referred to as the Orange Shirt Day Walk). Please bring your rattle if you have one. We will practice in the church hall at 6:00 PM.
The "Grandmother Song" most commonly refers to the traditional Cree healing song written by Leo McGilvery, which honours residential school survivors and translates to "Bless us my mother, be with us my mother". It is frequently performed at gatherings and events honouring the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. This song is shared in the spirit of happiness, health, and healing.
