Cree Elder A.J. Felix delivered a powerful "Wake Up" song and teachings at The Turtle Lodge on March 19, 2020, for the launch of "Wahbanung - The Resurgence of a People." His message called for spiritual awakening, urging listeners to address community challenges like children's suffering, disunity, and lack of sharing or prayer.

Elder Felix offered four vital teachings: pray sincerely, even with tears, as the spirit world listens; avoid buying luck or success, which can bring harm; and once grounded in prayer, remain humble, sharing blessings with those in need. This path leads to success and peace.
