Firekeeper Quotes

“Firekeepers are men who strike the fire at ceremonies. They're taught to use flint and steel or wood. They keep the fire going the entire time. We have a four-day period after someone passes away when their spirit travels to the next world. Firekeepers tend the fire for four nights and four days during Enjaakid—that's what the crossing-over journey is called. Takes lots of firewood to keep it going that long.”
― Angeline Boulley, Sisters in the Wind
