Pope Francis Attends Indigenous ‘Healing Dance’ to ‘Mother Earth’ During Canada Trip

'We are the people of Mother Earth, hi, hi,' the master of ceremonies said during the dance.

MASKWACIS, Alberta (LifeSiteNews) – During the first full day of his visit with Canada’s Indigenous communities, Pope Francis attended a “healing dance” that appeared to direct worship to “Mother Earth.”

Prior the ritual, which took place in Maskwacis, Alberta this morning, the Master of Ceremonies for the event explained that a “healing dance” was about to occur, while outlining that the drum involved is “the heartbeat of Mother Earth, the drum is life.”

Gathered in a circle around a large tree branch, Indigenous people began chanting and playing the drum as people dressed in feathers and other traditional outfits started dancing.

Francis, along with four Indigenous Chiefs donning traditional headdresses and garb, sat on a stage slightly above the dance, giving them a view of the happenings. (Footage of the dance can be found in the Vatican’s livestream of the event, starting at 1:09:00).

The MC for the event spoke about the importance of the number “four” as the ritual continued, referencing the “elements,” the “four directions,” the “four stages of life” and the “four living life forms.”

“We have a sun rising from the east, and we also have, from the south, we have the Thunderbird,” explained the MC.

Him big chief white eyes, came across big sea far away...

If I were Catholic, I would ask St. Kateri to pray for us. As it is, we have to wait for the ruling heretic to either repent or expire.

(Jay Silverheels, Canadian Mohawk, must be spinning in his grave.)

Wonder if he’s buds with Soros and Schwab.
