The Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe is working in collaboration with Central Michigan University to show support and pay respects to all of those affected by the tragic events in Orlando. The Candlelight Vigil will take place Tuesday night, June 14, 2016, from 9:00pm until 10:00pm. Please gather at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Central Michigan located at 319 S University Ave, Mount Pleasant, MI 48858.

 

Organizers of the event from The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Central Michigan have shared the following details:

 

“Join us for a public vigil as we mourn the victims of the LGBTQ nightclub shooting in Orlando as well as stand in solidarity with the Muslim community as a backlash of hatred is directed at them in the wake of the tragedy.

 

The vigil will be held outdoors in front of the University Street entrance. We will read the names of the deceased with appropriate periods of silence. This is not a religious service, but rather an opportunity to grieve together and express our solidarity with the victims and their survivors. All faiths, philosophies and ages are welcome. Participants are encouraged to bring a candle, and a candle to share.” 

 

“The Saginaw Chippewa Indian community would like to express our deepest condolences to the family and friends of those who lost their lives this past weekend. We offer our prayers and good thoughts during this time of mourning”, stated Tribal Chief Frank Cloutier.
