#Living Psalm 23_ Nancy Best/ Golden Feather Woman for October 11, 2026, Indigenous People's Day
The Elder is my Protector 
I lack for nothing 
They provide me a resting place in meadows 
We walk together beside gentle waters 
They uplift my Spirit 
Their teaching shows me a good path to follow in their example
Even when I move through the shadow lands of nothingness
I have no fright as you are by my side, our moccasins go step by step in unison
Your bow and arrows provide safety and contentedness.
You set a feast in front of me with my foes watching
You bless my head with maple sap and my birch bark bowl overflows 
Without a doubt integrity and graciousness will accompany me
Until I join the ancestors in the dance of the aurora borealis 
And I will reside with Creator in our longhouse 
for time everlasting.  
Meegwetch Nia’:wen All My Relations, Amen.
