The Sacred Fire has been lit in the Madawaska Wolastoqiyik Nation, and will remain lit until Chantel’s family arrives in New Brunswick, and we put her to rest.”\nAt this time, we call upon all Indigenous Peoples & Allies to walk in Ikatomone (eek-gut-moh-neh) for all Missing and Murdered Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA. Chantel Moore died at the hands of the police only one day after the one-year anniversary of the National Inquiry of MMIWG Report. Below, you will find details for a unified, New Brunswick wide Healing Walk in memory and justice for Chantel Moore.\nAll are welcome, but we ask that you take careful consideration of the details described in the Healing Walk Protocol, and follow the protocols earnestly. We acknowledge Dr. Imeda Perley (Opolahsomuwehs) for the composition of this Healing Walk Protocol.\n——-\nChantel Moore’s Healing Walk Protocols\nBrothers and Sisters, Elders and Youth, let us join our heavy hearts, our furious minds, our gentle spirits to follow the ancient tracks of our people to stand up for justice, to sing our songs of healing, to invoke all our spirit helpers to guide us towards our peaceful perseverance during this tragedy and pandemic.\nWe will walk in both silence and chants to honour our emotions and heal both our historical and contemporary agony of injustice.\nWe will carry our gifts of language to bless our purpose and refrain from using profanity that does not belong to our language.\nOur women will carry our gift of compassion in a bowl of water to be brought to a designated sacred place.\nWe will wear our ceremonial skirts and shirts to honour our nations colours and pride\nOur voices will echo love not hate.\nOur Smudging will help us to comply with our Wampum Laws of peace and to minimize displaying acts of anger that may disrespect our cause\nOur Healing Walk should never be called a “protest”, this is not our traditional word, we instead use “Ikatomone”(eek-gut-moh-neh) which translates to “let’s guard” our way of life, our languages, our ceremonies, our rights to declare justice.\nOur Sacred Drums will soothe our shared anguish as we converge our thoughts to healing Chantel’s family and her memory.\nOur Sacred Pipes will invoke our power to connect to our ancestors who are walking with us within our DNA\nOur Red Shawls will be a symbol for all MMIWG and their families.\nOur Moccasins will allow us to walk with stamina a gift from our four legged relatives and mostly to leave our sacred tracks to honour those who went before us and to leave behind for those yet to be born!\nPlease keep in mind to follow our safety precautions of social distancing, hand sanitizing and wearing masks to remain safe from Covid-19.\n———\nProtocoles de marche de guérison de Chantel Moore\nFrères et sœurs, aînés et jeunes, unissons nos cœurs lourds, nos esprits furieux, nos doux esprits pour suivre les anciennes traces de notre peuple pour défendre la justice, chanter nos chants de guérison, invoquer tous nos aides spirituels pour nous guider vers notre persévérance pacifique durant cette tragédie et cette pandémie.\nNous marcherons à la fois dans le silence et les chants pour honorer nos émotions et guérir à la fois notre historique et contemporain de l’injustice.\nNous porterons nos dons de langue pour bénir notre objectif et nous nous abstiendrons d’utiliser des jurons qui n’appartiennent pas à notre langue.\nNos femmes porteront notre don de compassion dans un bol d’eau pour être amené dans un lieu sacré désigné.\nNous porterons nos jupes et chemises de cérémonie pour honorer les couleurs et la fierté de nos nations.\nNos voix feront écho à l’amour et non à la haine.\nNotre Smudging nous aidera à respecter nos lois de paix Wampum et à minimiser les actes de colère qui peuvent manquer de respect à notre cause.\nNotre marche de guérison ne devrait jamais être appelée une “protestation”, ce n’est pas notre mot traditionnel, nous utilisons plutôt Ikatomone (eek-gut-moh-neh) qui se traduit par “protégeons” notre mode de vie, nos langues, nos cérémonies, nos droits à déclarer justice.\nNos tambours sacrés apaiseront notre angoisse partagée alors que nous convergerons nos pensées vers la guérison de la famille de Chantel et de sa mémoire.\nNos pipes sacrées invoqueront notre pouvoir de nous connecter à nos ancêtres qui marchent avec nous dans notre ADN.\nNos châles rouges seront un symbole pour tous les MMIWG et leurs familles.\nNos mocassins nous permettront de marcher avec endurance, un cadeau de nos parents à quatre pattes, et surtout de laisser nos traces sacrées pour honorer ceux qui nous ont précédés et laisser derrière nous pour ceux qui ne sont pas encore nés!\nVeuillez garder à l’esprit de suivre nos précautions de sécurité concernant l’éloignement social, la désinfection des mains et le port de masques pour rester à l’abri du Covid-19.\nLes prévisions de pluie ne devraient pas décourager notre marche de guérison. Habillez-vous en conséquence!\n——-\nRegardless of race or background, we ask that you follow the protocol. The protocols keep us safe, and maintain our intention. We encourage you to remember Chantel in these ways:\n– Wear gold and yellow. Chantel’s catchphrase was, “stay golden!”. We honour her by wearing gold and yellow.\n– Wearing rainbows. Shortly after Chantel’s life was tragically lost at the hands of the police officer, a rainbow emerged in the sky.\n– Wear your Indigenous regalia\n– Bring your drums, shakers, art, and signs\n– Show compassion, care, and courtesy in your expressions\nWhen: June 13, 2020\nTime: 1 PM\nIn Fredericton the Route: We will march from City Hall to the Legislative Assembly Building by way of the walking trail along the Wolastoq River (off of Carleton Street) then returning to City Hall on the side walk.\nWe encourage you to invite your municipal and provincial representatives.\n(Here is where you add the link for your city’s councillors. You should be able to find this info on the city website.)\n—\nWe also invite you to attend our Sacred Fire in the Madawaska Wolastoqiyik Nation, and make an offering. The Sacred Fire for Chantel is located on 1755 Rue Principale (this is the main street on reserve), with plenty of parking.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
