It is sung like a lullaby and we don’t use shakers or drums.
Ne-be Gee Zah- gay- e- goo
Gee Me-gwetch -wayn ne- me – goo
Gee Zah Wayn ne- me- goo
(Sung 7 times – once for each direction then once for above, and once for Mother Earth)

Translation:
Water, we love you.
We thank you.
We respect you.
Doreen and her grandson, Mashkoonce, give permission for everyone to share this song… sing it to the water every day.
