When Blackfoot Elder Dila Houle did the adoption ceremony for me and my brother Julian Norris in 2015 I remember Julian said to me, "you get two for one because David is my closest friend and brother." Sitting here by a beautiful lake in the mountains with David and Julian, a migizi (bald eagle) flew overhead. I liked their little camp chairs they brought with them. David was Oshkimmaadizig, one of the new peoples, the fulfillment of the 8th fire prophecy, bridging not only cultures and ways of knowing but also realms and dimensions. Tonight here at our place near Niagara Falls we lifted our pipes and sipped some old growth Sheng Puerh for you David in the spirit world with your ancestors. Sending our love to your beautiful family, we will be here for them until we too go to the spirit world. Miigwetch for listening.
