In English, this translates to:
In spirit we reconcile
on this day of July 18, 2010
As we honour those who lost
their lives in the 1885 North West Resistance
We the Métis, died for
Our home and our land
We, the soldiers
Died for Canada
We, the First Nations
Died for our Métis brothers and sisters
We are now forever free. - Publisher
