Thank-you. You have framed these first 10 psalms very well indeed. A first-nations child has become the Hebrew Poet for you, and for me.
I have a first nations child, now 44, seriously damaged by FASD because of the colonial experience. His mother is a friend, and well established now as a teacher in Winnipeg. The boy is a musician. It was not the ’60s scoop. It was, in 1977-78, at the time, a necessary intervention. Long story. Formative for our family so that we knew what had been done in our name.
We, the churches, and the government, ‘the powers that be’, would do well to really read the Psalms for the reasons you have so succinctly put.
Thanks you for the study. I feel less alone.
