Description:	Riel’s Prayer is a teaching song whispered to the Metis people from the Spirit realm. What would Riel want to say to you right now? He would want to remind you of who you are. To remember that you have the heart of the buffalo. And he would want you to be wary of the potential dangers in your midst.
