UNITY PRAYER FOR SAFETY AND PROTECTION

(Treaty 6 Territory, Saskatoon SK) – The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN) Executive humbly ask our knowledge keepers all men, women and children, young and old of all denominations and cultures to join in prayerful solidarity in your First Nation community, schools, homes, etc. on Friday, October 30, 2020.

The “Unity Prayer for Safety and Protection”, at 9:00 a.m. we ask the entire Treaty Territory to pray for all those living in the shadow of the pandemic, those stricken with the coronavirus, and for the many who have died from COVID-19. Additionally, pray for protection and good health during the pandemic.

Whether it has to do with denominations, political feelings, race, socioeconomics, or other factors division within our treaty territory is not what God calls us to do. There are many ways we can disagree but unity praying in your own way as a whole should remain.

While many are working from home or staying home from school there will be times that you need to go out for necessities, we ask you to continue to practice your safety precautions. The many who remain working and in school please stay alert and take extra precautions to stay safe. At the moment, there is not cure for the coronavirus.

The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations represents 74 First Nations in Saskatchewan. The Federation is committed to honouring the spirit and intent of the Treaties, as well as the promotion, protection and implementation of the Treaty promises that were made more than a century ago.

In prayer, and Yours in the Spirit and intent of Treaty and reconciliation,

Chief Bobby Cameron

THE FEDERATION OF SOVEREIGN INDIGENOUS NATIONS
