James Smith Cree Nation finding healing in fish fries after mass stabbing tragedy
“We are all tired, but in conjunction with everything that has happened, we are happy we can be here to help our community,” said Phyllis Head, an elder in the Peter Chaplin band, who has been at all three fish fries this week.
“People have just been going day to day and some of them haven’t had time to go shopping for groceries or doing their house chores,” Head said as she explained the importance of the meal.“We are all hurting, and it is such a tragedy,” she said. “It is unbelievable the support we have received from all over Canada, and I am just overwhelmed with everybody that came together and helped us in any way they can.
He hopes events over the next coming weeks and months continue to provide joy just as the fish fry did Sunday. He wants to thank all the communities that have helped over the last two weeks, and thank everyone that continues to play a part in the healing process. “I’m very happy for other communities who have come out. They have helped us carry that burden and I am very honoured that they come out to help us,” Moostoos said.Across the community, people were grateful for the help they have received and thankful for a fish fry to help a grieving community move forward.
“I do believe we will come together,” Moostoos said. “Right now we are knocked down, but we will get back up. We will get back up with pride.”
