In Their Words: “Gospel is by definition ‘the good news.’ These songs were capable of lifting spirits in the darkest of times. I witnessed it on many occasions. They provided hope and relief. A subject I addressed earlier this year. Maybe that message needs continuing throughout this time. I am as much the grandson of Chief Peguis, the founder of Peguis First Nation, as I am Edward Prince Sr., one of the founding Christian pastors of that same community. Gospel First Nation is an amalgamation of two very important realms in my life.” — William Prince
