| Description: | Nitootimuk (Leaving Song) is a gratitude and goodbye prayer to the Spirits and Nature Keepers who dwell in sacred places. As you leave a sacred place, you offer your warm thanks for the beauty, vitality and life experienced in your visit. By thanking the Beings who keep these places pristine and profound, you actively participate in sustaining health and wellness for all. It is a song of reciprocity. Like putting down tobacco, you sing this song to give back to those who give to you unconditionally.
