Some of my most cherished memories are of visiting Muncee and 6 Nations as a child.
Our church had missions all over and we were always invited to sit in on the
Sunday services. I learned so much about the Indian culture and the Spanish and
Mexicans. Many times these people would speak in their dialect but I could tell
if they were happy or sad by the looks on their faces. I also witnessed how
the Indians still felt a little apprehensive around people outside of their inner
families. I learned to respect each culture and why they believed the way they
do. It was such a wonderful experience for me. While in church we all had a
common denominator and that was our love for God. Knowing that God created all
people made them so special to me. I was taught early on to respect everyone.
There were six different Indian tribes at the one mission. I was elated whenever
I heard their groups sing.
