Honoring Those Who Died… in Cree Culture (12-15-15)
Honoring Those Who Died … in Cree Culture.
Concerning Honoring Loved Ones Who died. (Thompson Manitoba. Swampy Cree)
With ever-certain hope, Azure introduced the feast with a testament to our loved ones’ final resting place:
“As Indian people, we never knew of this place called hell. For us, there were four heavens, and there still are. Every once in awhile, they’ll come and visit you; when you’re driving somewhere, you’ll feel a little chill, and their memory will come back strong. That’s them. And that’s what this is: An offering to our loved ones. We want to make sure, through this food, we send our love to our loved ones. We say, ‘come and eat with us.’” – See more at: http://www.thompsoncitizen.net/news/thompson/vigil-remembers-missing-and-murdered-family-1.2128386#sthash.e7hUYLbk.dpuf
