One who finds honor in the circle of birth, infancy, childhood, youth maturity and old age, can also find honor in death. Although the body undergoes physical transformations, the Spirit remains unchanged. When the body is no longer viable the spirit ascends into another realm. Separation from the body does not necessarily mean that all ties to people are disconnected. Two ceremonies, the Wake and Round Dance illustrate the Cree philosophy of death and its relationship between us and Spirits. The ceremony for delivering the body back to Mother Earth as well as the ceremony to commune with Spirits who have shed the body constitute part of the bereavement and healing process.
