This land is covered by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, which was an agreement between the Haudenosaunee, Anishinabek and other Indigenous nations to share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes.

The first Nowell the angel did say, Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; In fields where they lay keeping their sheep, On a cold winter’s night that was so deep. Refrain: Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Born is the King of Israel. They looked up and saw a star, Shining in the east, beyond them far, And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night. (Refrain) And by the light of that same star, Three wise men came from country far; To seek for a King was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went. (Refrain) This star drew nigh to the northwest O'er Bethlehem it took its rest And there it did both stop and stay Right o'er the place where Jesus lay. (Refrain)

IN THIS HALL
Masters in this hall, Hear ye news today, Brought from overseas, And ever I you pray: Refrain: Nowell! Nowell! Nowell! Nowell sing we clear, Holpen are all folk on earth, Born is God’s son so dear: Nowell! Nowell! Nowell! Nowell sing we loud! God today hath poor folk raised And cast a-down the proud. Going o’er the hills, Through the drifting snow, Heard the lambs a-bleating While the winds did blow: (Refrain) Then to Bethlem town We went two and two, And in a sorry place Heard the oxen low: (Refrain) This is Christ the Lord, Masters be ye glad! Christmas is come in And no folk should be sad: (Refrain)

NIGHT Silent night! Holy night! All is calm, all is bright Round yon virgin mother and child Holy infant so tender and mild, Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night! Holy night! Shepherds quake at the sight: Glories stream from heaven afar, Heavenly hosts sing alleluia, Christ the Saviour is born, Christ the Saviour is born. Silent night! Holy night! Son of God, love’s pure light Radiant beams from thy holy face, With the dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus, Lord, at thy birth. Jesus, Lord, at thy birth.
