25 Algonquin Chant

“Nee bee wah bow.. En die en..
Aah key mis kquee.. Nee bee wah bow..
Hey ya.. hey ya.. hey ya.. hey..
Hey ya.. hey ya.. ..hey ya.. ho..”

— Algonquin Water Song

“We sing this song like a lullaby. The song means the water is the life’s blood of our mother the earth. Water is the life’s blood of our own bodies.”

— Grandma Nancy

Reflection

I sing “The Algonquin Water Song” - together with the women of the world - I sing to the water - four times I sing - I sing to the east, I sing to the south, I sing to the west, and I sing to the north. I sing “Nee bee wah bow.. En die en.. Aah key mis kquee.. Nee bee wah bow.. Hey ya.. hey ya.. hey ya.. hey.. Hey ya.. hey ya.. ..hey ya.. ho..” Grandmother tells me the water can hear me. She says the water has memory. She speaks, and I listen. And I agree with her: Water is the life blood of our mother the earth, and water is the life blood of our own body. I am the keeper of the water. You are the keeper of the water.
