'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.

Dancing with the pope
He looks like Dorkahanas
“Still waiting for any evidence of those mass graves at those indian schools.”
Prepare for a long wait . . . it didn’t happen. (As I’m sure you are aware, actual digging, instead of speculative radar images, revealed no mass graves.)

That looks like a Lakota style headdress. Lakota weren’t really “indigenous” or a “first nation” in Canada. Their presence in Canada was rather small and late. They were driven west and north in the 18th century- displacing other tribes that previously occupied the upper northern plains and into Canada in the 19th century. Adopting horse culture from the Cheyenne aided mobility and increased range and power. The Pawnee, Arikara, Mandan, Hidatsa, Cheyenne and others have a claim to refer to them as colonialists and invaders stealing land. But, their headdresses are beautiful.
Mr. Brooks wore it better.
I hope the pope wasn’t doing the Safety Dance.
Not my Pope!!!!
No wonder there was a great schism...
>I assume you mean the great schism between the Roman church of the west, and Orthodoxy of the east.
However, considering this communist Pope’s affinity with paganism, as there in Canada and elsewhere in pagan ceremonies elsewhere in the world, others would say no wonder there is the great schism between the Roman church and those of us who believe the Bible.
It seems like about every 500 years, some kind of major split happens in Catholicism.
The first was with the Orthodox.
The second, in the 1500’s was with Protestantism.
It’s now another 500 years and it sure looks like a major split is in the works again.
With each split, Catholicism and the Vatican go further off the rails and those who separate from them remain far closer to Biblical Christianity.
I get what you are saying, I think there is a split in the works.
Fake Pope.
Fake religion.
There is nothing to indicate that those children died by other than natural causes.
Indians apparently do not care...they adopt the head wear from anyone to promote the narrative. Because it looks “Indian”.
