Pope Francis’ apology tour in Canada on Monday.It followed the pope’s apology and was not part of the official program.A post shared by Gavin John (@gjohnjournalism)Si Pih Ko’s song is being shared and resonating with people around the world — but on Tuesday, she said it is being mistaken for the wrong tune.“It wasn’t O Canada.

It’s our village in our language of the Four Winds,” Si Pih Ko said to Global News at the Lac Ste. Anne pilgrimage.She said she sung it before when Prince Charles was visiting, and that’s when she realized it went with the tune of the national anthem.“For them to say it’s O Canada — I said no, it’s O Canada translated for their anthem.

It’s an older dialect of the language of the Four Winds.” Pope Francis receiving a headdress elicits heated emotions amongst First Nations communities After finishing singing, she spoke what she said was the “law of these lands” to Pope Francis.“‘You are hereby served the spoken law, we the daughters of the great spirit and our tribal soverign members can not be forced into law or treaty that is now the great law.

We have appointed chiefs on our territories, convern yourselves accordingly,’ and then I turned my back on him and said ‘hiy hiy’ and I shook it off.”Si Pih Ko said she was raised away from her family, had Catholicism forced upon her, and on Monday expressed the pain of those experiences through her impromptu song.“Everyone that was hurting through these residential schools, everybody that shared their stories with me, that’s who I shook my fringes to free them from all the pain.

Young girl abandoned at Philadelphia daycare after class left for field trip
PHILADELPHIA - A Philadelphia mother says her daughter was left alone for hours at daycare after the class left for a field trip to a local amusement park. Dana Jones and her family picketed outside of Creative Kids Daycare Center in Mount Airy on Wednesday morning to publicize their frustration. "This should never have happened to my child and I want to make sure it never happens to any other child," Jones said. According to Jones, the incident happened a little over a week ago when the daycare had a planned trip to The Funplex.Jordyn, 6, was walked into the daycare by her father who even had a brief conversation with one of the teachers.MORE LOCAL HEADLINESJones said her daughter was in the bathroom when she heard the teachers rounding up the students to leave for the field trip. "While she was in the bathroom, she heard ‘hurry up’ and when she came out of the bathroom, there was no one to be found," Jones said.Daycare Director Darrel Davis acknowledged the child was somehow left behind and said they feel awful."It was one of those mornings where it was just a perfect storm of what happened, we are definitely thankful nothing happened to the child, she was perfectly safe," Davis said. Jordyn, 6, told her mother that she was in the bathroom when she heard teachers start to round up students to leave for a field trip. Creative Kids Daycare Center has been in business for over a decade and never had an incident like this, according to Davis. Another parent who was picking up their child found Jordyn all alone and took her to the daycare's other building a block away. "Me getting that phone call, working 30 minutes away, my mind went through so many scenarios," Jones said.
