| Description: | Water Prayer Song is a prayer song for women+ all over the Metis Homeland, and all over the world. Women+, who are the lifegivers, are being asked to sing their water songs to bring healing to the waters and to the people. After hearing that so many Metis women didn’t know any water songs, Andrea created this song to fill that void. The Water Prayer Song has been translated into 4 languages, but she hopes this is just the beginning. It’s a giveaway. So take this song and translate it into YOUR language.
