"I want to offer my deepest condolences to all those who knew Elder Madeline Skead,
or Onowikamigook (Center of the Earth Woman), of the Wauzhushk Onigum First Nation
who has passed on to the Spirit World." Ontario Regional Chief Angus Toulouse.

A respected teacher, leader, rights advocate and mentor Elder Madeline Skead was a beloved cultural and spiritual advisor whose wisdom and dedication to her peoples has left behind a legacy of ancestral teachings, traditional knowledge and wisdom. Elder Madeline Skead was the Traditional Healing Coordinator for Lake of the Woods District Hospital for 25 years, Counsellor, Advisor, Elder, and a member of the Ontario Provincial Police Commissioner’s Select Aboriginal Advisory Council for 16 years – to name just a few of her remarkable achievements and commitments to her community and throughout the Treaty #3 region. Her love and commitment to the peoples also touched the lives of many in the Ontario First Nations and throughout Canada and United States.

Elder Madeline Skead lived her life with a passionate strength that transcended cultures and challenges with a direct integrity that spoke to a compassion and wisdom that will be sorely missed.

[A visitation and celebration of her life will be held at Golden Eagle Casino, Rat Portage First Nation on Thursday, January 26, 2012 beginning at 7:00 p.m. her friends and relatives are invited to come share their memories. Services will start at 10:00 a.m. at Golden Eagle Casino, Rat Portage First Nation on Friday, January 27, 2012. A Traditional Service will follow on Friday January 27, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. with Elder Stephen Kejick of Shoal Lake First Nation officiating.]
