Land Acknowledgement – Sacred Stories

We gather this morning on land in Little Current. Before we spoke English on this land, we spoke French and called here Le Petit Courant. Before we spoke French here, we spoke Ojibwe, also known as Anishinaabemowin, and called here Waebijewung. Many names. Many peoples. Many generations. One place. In honour of all who have come before us, may we never forget history didn’t begin with English here. There are more sacred stories. In hope of all the people after us, may we weave our lives with the peoples who call this place home. We are all sacred people — beloved children of the Holy One. May we treat one another as such.
