She speaks for all the Indigenous children who never got the chance to speak for themselves, stand up for themselves, lost their lives for just being themselves! She stands strong for the many MANY MANY injustices done to her people! We can all learn from her! She is truly a teacher.
You know that whole story was a crock of bs. But yes... God bless this woman. It was amazing to see.

“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.”
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 sovereign members can not be forced into law or treaty that is now the great law. We have appointed chiefs on our territories, govern 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. That’s what I felt.”
Wow. Thanks Vern.
@@AI_Educator You are welcome!
@Vern DeLaronde thank you so very much for translating. APTN needs to PIN this comment asap!!!
Thank you for the wonderful explanation.I wish more Canadians would be more empathetic some of the comments here are horrible.
Thank you for that! I was curious what she was saying and I appreciate the clarification on the song.
I just get goosebumps and sadness every time she finishes singing and starts to sob. Followed by the crowd applauding in support. Truly a powerful moment.
That wonderful, noble woman singing in Cree said more with her defiant anthem than a thousand words could ever say. Her palpable anger and her tears - Francis needed to see that. We all needed to see that.
It was the highlight for me. True genuine emotion. No games, no fancy words, just a genuine person that we share a world with.
You do know the Cree raped and murdered their way through the Blackfoot, the Nakota, the Ojibway, and the Athabaskans? They are no better and no worse and deserve no special attention or place.
@@john-paulsilke893 You do know that they were systemically oppressed? Regardless of whatever share of ugly history they have contributed, it does not absolve the sins of those who oppressed them to the point where they lost their languages, cultural identity, history etc. They have been set back compared to those who have profited and benefitted by keeping them at bay. Rationalizing the injustices imposed on a people by stating that everyone has done harm is a strawman argument. You are choosing to ignore that their history and Canadian history are completely different. The Cree, nor any other Indigenous group ever came to the homelands of their colonial rulers and imperialized them.
@@sabinamohammad137 they had a Neolithic culture where they literally ate, raped, killed and burnt other tribes “systematically”. Sorry, not sorry Western Christianity took over
This woman was the real thing of the entire visit 💜💜💜
Her name is Siphiko. Paraphrased and loosely translated, her speech at the end is telling the Pope that prior to them coming here, these were peaceful, clean lands, the implication being that they ceased to be that way when the church arrived.
This was not a planned moment, this was done out of pure emotion. Siphiko was someone who came to bear witness to an apology and felt a mix of emotions at it.
The comments here implying otherwise only indicate how far we have to go in terms of how the indigenous people of Canada are treated.
If you would like more information on residential schools, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada has put together an entire historical archive of the various documented abuses and deaths that went on. Please take a moment to educate yourself.
Well she should read a history book. Natives were killing each other long before the first white man settled here. To say otherwise is a denial of historical fact for politically motivated gain.
Hey Jess this was very much appreciated thanks for going into detail. The catholic church has commited many atrocities in the world. I do beleive the younger generation is starting to understand though. The majority of commentators saying negative things are not aware when they MUST be.
Thank you very much. I was looking forward for the meaning of those powerful words.
Yes. Sure it was peaceful. Not the slightest violent streak of violence in them - just ask John Brebeuf. He will confirm this.
@@lmlmlmlm7627 All humans fight for territory and resources among themselves. It is essentially the reason for the civil court system. When strangers came to their lands, they did not bear arms and only wanted to trade peacefully.
Even now, they do not want violence. Even after a hollow apology, they still surprised the Pope with the highest honor of headdress. All you know is violence and anger, you likely cannot understand
I am a Canadian Sikh and watching this breaks my heart. Cree people are brave and have patience of mount everest. Much respect to all the nations.
🤣
Patients?? We’re they Sikh? Get it hehehe 😂
Quick! Before the angry people come! Change the spelling to *patience
@Headbutt Hahah I dont drink but nice try.
@Headbutt low IQ moment
The ancestors were with her. You can tell. Emotions like that only come from immense trauma.
If your going to talk about trauma, please dont forget her immense resilience.
No translator needed here - She got her message across loud and clear. Brought tears to my eyes. Would have loved to see him interact with her directly.
The horror and pure pain that is present here is unwavering. As the mother of a Cree child, I see the pain and destruction this entire genocide as left in its wake- This shook me to my core. These people deserve way more than ANYONE is giving them. Until youve lived with them, submersed in their culture, seeing the pain and the absolute destruction of thier culture, language and children, you have no idea. This was nothing short of an attempt to rid Canada of all things indigenous, but- they failed. Native people are strong and resilient.
As a Chinese immigrant settler, this brings me to tears. The anguish in her defiant anthem is everything. Her singing in her Cree language is a voice for the silenced! ✊✊✊
??? Immigrants coming to this country are the ones that silenced her, overpopulation, invasion of her homeland. Your comment is hypocritical.
The chinese had a hand native genocide as well. My tribe was enslaved by the Chinese during the gold rush.
@@jenniferlane5104 wow I had no idea, so sorry about this. Can you please direct me to learn more about this? such as websites or links? I just did a quick search on internet and could not find anything about this. They ought to teach these things in the education system. I would like to learn about this and share this with Chinese community, and see how we can be better ally.
The big difference between the Chinese and Indians is that the Chinese bust their butts working hard all their lives and the Indians do Jack squat and live off handouts like these….
ALL the non corrupt or colonialized (brainwashed) aboriginals such as myself do NOT AGREE with these traitors singing this song or dressing this leader of the church that RAPED, Murdered, & tortured our children. These traitors should be shamed for life. This is an ABOMINATION.
A Tibetan Canadian here.. Don’t know what she said, but can feel her pain, hear her heart, and resolute. Respect and Hugs!

She sings for the Women and the words she spoke after the song were of The Great Law before all laws. This has meaning. Woman own the land within the great law. Not the chiefs not the treaty holders, the woman of the land were not consulted. She is saying they are all in violation, including the corporate chiefs.
We can't control what the ignorant people think or comment pfft. I don't care what they say. BUT we can control our support and unconditional love for the survivors of these institutions they called residential schools. I am not religious. I believe in a Creator. And leave it to organized religion (man made) to carry out these horrendous, unspeakable acts. I can't for one second imagine what it must have been like for these poor children and their families. Much love to you all.
thank you.
brilliant moment of grace -thank you, Mother; thank you, Father!
I am glad she spoke out. I am glad she had her say! What a powerful moment- I hope someone translated what she said to the Pope. Those tears, that voice... they won't be forgotten in a long time.
she tells the Pope (loose translation:) before your people came here, these lands were peaceful and clean.

not at all! this is unforgiveable. She is probably treaty sell out.
When I saw this and her facial expressions and vigour, I broke into full on crying. Old white chic here, but this was a universal cry for understanding and action. Powerful stuff and I hope someone tracks her down and interviews her, I am really interested to hear more from her.
The fact that people like you exist makes me cry.
Same here. Older white Canuck working in the US right now. This makes me so sad. So proud of her. So proud of Canada. I would love to know what she said (I mean, I’m sure we “got it” but I’m interested in what her words were 😭
You boomers have turned Canada into a multikulti hell. You'll be dead before you truly get to see the consequences of that!
Agreed, and same here. White, teacher, still learning and trying to understand. I’ve had my own experiences in churches but nothing-nothing!-even close to what generations of First Nations’ peoples have had to survive (or not survive) from both churches and our government.
@@victorcarbino8736 hahahahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This was the most powerful thing I saw the entire day. Her expression and her stance. Her body language told us alot. Soerry the media didnot get a translatoe because what she san was so important. Truth to Power. BEAUTIFUL!!
Her words were lost in that translation. Other translators said she told the Pope to go home and take his boys (priests) with him.
No translation required. If this didn’t tear your heart to shreds you’re not human.
@@Musecollective Well said! I couldn't agree more. VERY powerful and overwhelming to watch. 💔
I would like to have seen subtitles for the part at the end.
I think a small but important part of this that translators aren't adding is that she also turns her back fully to the pope and thanks EVERYONE ELSE.
I'm Cree too and this woman is so powerful. I'm just so amazed and proud.
You should be very proud of this fine woman I think what she did was noble.
she deserves subtitles.
Truth
I would really like to know what she had to say at the end, very powerful moment indeed
In Cree. We know the English and French.
Why tf wasn’t she given subtitles.
Huge sign of disrespect, and a barrier of communication.
Canada has made billions of dollars in attempt at reparations. I wonder what the Catholic Church is offering, aside from “salvation”
She deserves autotune. I respect her as a person, and if she dealt with anything in the past, im sorry. but it doesnt make her a good singer. I haven't heard native vocals this out of tune before
All Canada weeps with her. As it should.
Salute to the Natives of Canada and America from the land of Sumer, Assyria and Babylonia, from Iraq 🇮🇶💚 wounded by three wars and tragedies of destruction due to greed for its land and its oil 💔😔. I salute the courage of the Pope. I weep with the lady’s tears and songs, and I feel the greatness of her people, as if my ancestors were crying for their sacred land of Urok. Hope you will visit us one day in Iraq. You will be dear guests .
@@sabinegiannamore8711 thank you mam .. and its Iraq 🇮🇶💚 with deepest regards
habibti i am native
One cannot the urge to embrace and hug this woman who in her singing the anthem in her language , made a statement that will not be forgotten by anyone who has a heart in this country!
I mean I can and I'm native and Canadian lol
Her comments afterward show she is a bitter woman. Nothing can ever be right. She criticized everything. Yes bad things happened, but that is the past. She needs to accept the apology and move on for her mental sake. Sitting in bitterness does nothing. There is nothing anyone can do to change the past. Pope Francis did not even exist when they happened, and he apologized for the actions of those who did exist. She should understand this.
It was haunting to watch and listen to. Very powerful. Her anguish - and her nobility - was for me - staggering.
Haunting how annoying it was

The pope is not worthy to be wearing a head dress. So much of this hurts, hearing the pain in her voice and hearing her break out in tears breaks my heart.
What has the pope done specifically that makes him unworthy of wearing a native head dress?
Agreed. How has he earned it?! Very disturbed.
It's not something that the word "worthy" applies to. It's a dumb hat.

Powerful and no words. Brought tears and goosebumps.
The media are fully prepared to show her tear-streaked face as she sings and yet not perform the perfunctory task of providing subtitles for what she said afterward.
This smells rotten, and the media are the putrefaction.
FYI, APTN is the "Aboriginal Peoples Television Network". They're probably not catering to non-aboriginal perspectives in the first place, so your criticism is probably out of place.
The media have already reported a loose translation of what she said. Part of this apology is specifically because of what the Church has done. Without the actions of the Church, many people here would be able to easily translate for you word for word what she said. But there are precious few speakers of this language, so some time will be needed for a proper translation.
White liberals fetishize native people, particularly at times of emotionally charged events.
She definitely said something vile that they don't want you to hear.
@@epgui great way to make sure one's culture is understood...
Thank you for being a voice for us. Your strength gave me chills.
the pain in her voice
The media was quick to cover up what she was saying at the end. I'm dissapointed it wasn't translated here as well. She has a right to speak and we as fellow Canadians have a right to hear what she is saying.

Even though I am not very fond of the Catholic Church for their despicable actions, it is the federal government that is responsible. Why does the same federal government now give itself a statutory holiday??? It is brutal.
So correct - what is lost in all of this is that the federal gov't designed this policy of cultural genocide and assimilation. The Catholic Church, Anglicans and other religious bodies ran the schools. Yes there were bad apples and mistreatment and abuse which is horrible, but the essence of the harm was in the removal of the children from their families at an early age. This was by the government's hand and policy. So they bear the majority of the blame obviously. So far the Feds have done a lot of talking about reconciliation and throwing money at the native groups but that can't fix it completely. But at some point the native groups have to accept the apology and the efforts at reconciliation by all parties and start moving on like all other oppressed and conquered groups in history otherwise the Irish need reparations from England for 1,000 years of abuse and degredation, all of South America needs the Spanish and Portugal to atone, etc, it will never ever end
So some people can holiday in Tofino. Why else?
I would like to know what she said.
@Headbutt your 8head is jibberish
My father and his siblings never got to see this, they kept a secret and in the end it festered into cancer.
IT DID
This is it. Nothing else 🙌🏻 💔🙌🏻 Even if I didn’t understand her last words, her face and emotion says it all.
Salute to this brave woman. I can't understand the words, but I see her pain. I heard people saying that this visit would not matter, that it is for a narrative, which may be true. However, abuse victims need acknowledgment, and I guess if this helped in any way in the healing process. It was worth it.
there are Cree translations of this strong woman's song, which was NOT the national anthem.
Can you translate what she sang?

She did well , she put her point across, all stop and watched and wondered , she reminded all, that Canada before church show up , Canada was clean and many were content, the darkness changed all that
She sounded like a deaf person being gutted.

She wasn't singing Oh Canada in cree she was singing a cree prayer
She said something after she sang. I wish they translated it for those of us who can't understand.
Apparently, when translated, she said "this (land) was a pure place - a clean place - prior to the settlements".
Same here, I like to know what she spoke about. Hats off to the pope to have come to apology, compensation is a good gesture for the course.
Translation - “ I can’t wait for the millions the gvt is gonna once again spew out to us “
I think we all understand what she is saying, it is just that we would have liked to have it translated into english.

Yes, the indigenous tribes can never go back to the way things were. Do you think Imperial nation states like Russia, China, Iran, Syria, and the others care about anyone's rights and dignity? Even Canada, USA, UK, France, Spain, and the other NATO countries could get conquered by them someday because The West is getting soft and weak. The Afghanistan Taliban humiliated them. How much justice you get is determined by how much wealth, power, and big weapons of various destruction levels you control. Nobody cares unless you got them by the balls and you are willing to squeeze very hard and twist. This is true in any and every human action. This is the truth.
I just want to hug her. Powerful! and I don't even speak Cree.

I teared up when I saw this. I didn't understand her words, but her emotions were universal and you could feel the pain and suffering of an entire nation of people and its ancestors flow through her. So powerful.
According to ermineskin nation chief randy ermineskin she was telling the pope that this land was a pure place - a clean place - prior to the settlements.
Sure, it was a clean land. But pure? The Indigenous peoples all across North America were already committing genocide to themselves WAY before any European settlers landed here. Constant wars over land disputes and resources, and the rape and pillaging of women and children. You call THAT purity?
Does she know native history? Killing men of other tribes and taking their women and children isn’t exactly purity.
Lol. Sure it was.

@@joseph7105 she said “before”
Very emotional and heart breaking.Made me cry 😢 Bless her soul 🙏❤️
Powerful and inspiring! So so sad about what has been happening.
No words can make up for genocide. We need to see actions. Such as records of priest and nuns who worked in said facilities during those times then they must be brought to justice. Some of them are still living.
You don't know that the Kamloops graves was proven to be false I hope..
Really? Can't be many still alive. Most of the schools were shut down more than 50 years ago. There are 5 charged and convicted for criminal acts @ St. Anne's, but that was some time ago. There is one priest hiding in France too, with charges pending in Canada. Perhaps the church could compel him to return and face his accusers.

Interesting... the name Canada was a misunderstanding with early settlers; when the local people were asked the name of the whole land, the name they gave, Canada, was just of their village🙂
I heard the same, but settlers asked, “what is this place?” and local people said, “our village.”
not a place name, just, the literal word for “village” 🙂
🤷♀️ idk which is true, but it’s a good story.
Actually I like the name more now. Canada is literally a village of peoples.
Kanata was the word for village or settlement that the natives used, each tribe has its own name and has nothing to do with kanata or Canada.
Settlers: Greetings! What’s the name of this wonderful country?
Indigenous people: These weary outsiders must be looking for a village. The village(Kanata) is over there
@@AstroBear11 No, they lived in Quebec and then decided the new name would be upper and lower Canada, people can create new names for things.

I don't know what she said after singing the national anthem but I could feel the emotion and started crying.
Peter,lots of towns in our country don’t have 100% employment rate,non natives too,just wandering how do they get money
AWESOME!!!
Wtf?
What a moment ✊🔥🔥🔥
I shed tears of pain of The European long years of genocide against the Indigenous People of the World from African Continent to Canada, the home of native Eskimos. The European have done so much wrong to humanity. Everywhere they went, they shed the blood of native People. Their pain and agony will surely come one day.
But what did she actually say after singing O Canada in Cree? Please tell us!!!
Apparently, when translated, she said "this (land) was a pure place - a clean place - prior to the settlements".
She said .... Foook Trudope!!
@@billkidney2364 How would she know what Canada was like 500 years ago?She lives in Canada today,but refuses to accept reality.The rest of Canadians are not going anywhere as this is our home as much as the Natives.We do not need to apologize for anything as we had nothing to do with these schools.
@@alex35agm I'm not sure. I'm just providing the translation of what she said, not whether what she said was reasonable.
Vile, racist, supremacist garbage.
Thank you. I am in tears.
Just wondering if they apologized to the pope about the "mistake" findings of the 215 graves in May 2022, that was found out to be false....
These people are clearly a problem, I say we bring the schools back, but at this point it may be a worthless cause anyways, they are clearly incompatible with the modern world.
It’s all a farce!!! Let’s give them billions lol so the drug dealers on 107 street…. 118ave .. can get rich lol.
