Channel: Jaguar Bird
Date: 18/02/2018

This is a video clip from one of Grandfather Vern Harper's visits
 to "Dreamer's Rock"...,  on Whitefish River First Nation, in Northern Ontario.., (*Permission required. More info. below) ...as he says a prayer and makes an offering..  

*NOTE: Speaking recently, with Whitefish First Nation personally.., 
and I will relay it here, for all others..it has been asked, that all video and photo clips at the top of Dreamer's (the Sacred Bowl area) please be be taken off the Internet / off-line..  Chi Miigwetch! 

 This is why you will see no pictures/video-clips from me in any of my own videos, of this area.  If you plan to be up there.., just call a few days ahead of time, to see if it is an okay time to get permission, pay a nominal fee.. and walk up for yourself.   As long as you are respectful or the ways and rules.... and it is not being used for Ceremonies at that time, you should have no problem visiting one of the most beautiful and Sacred places in the world
and your memory of it, will be better than any photo or video..

Grandfather Vern's Cree name, "Asin", means Stone. Among his many diverse roles, Vern Harper is one of only a few Elders in Canada with Chaplain status. He’s worked with Correctional Service Canada, conducting Native spiritual services at federal prisons helping inmates to rehabilitate themselves through teachings, counselling and traditional ceremonies.
