I am All of Creation<br />

Russell Willier was hard<br />

to miss with his bright red<br />

jacket emblazoned with a<br />

Sucker Creek Cree Elders<br />

patch and his tall, muddy,<br />

rubber boots. He greeted<br />

his community with a smile,<br />

his mustache stained yellow<br />

from the cigarettes that<br />

regularly dangled from his<br />

mouth. Russell is known<br />

across western Canada<br />

and parts of the US as a<br />

powerful Cree medicine<br />

man, having been taught<br />

by elders throughout the<br />

provinces. But in recent<br />

months, cancer had spread<br />

throughout his body.<br />

Doctors told the 68-year-old<br />

that his chances of surviving<br />

were slim, but Russell<br />

continued to treat himself<br />

with his traditional medicine<br />

practices, which he<br />

had learned from his greatgrandfather.<br />

“He’s healed<br />

thousands of people,”<br />

Russell’s niece said through<br />

tears. “He’s a medicine<br />

man. But he can’t heal himself.”<br />

Russell’s death was<br />

a massive loss to the Cree<br />

community as not many<br />

traditional healers remain.<br />

Russell’s story is one about<br />

a powerful Cree healer<br />

epitomized by a man, railing<br />

against our common<br />

mortality.<br />
