BLACK WATER
CHRISTINE AGNES BLACK WATER (BEAVERS) - IIYISTAPAINIHKIAAKII (WALKING AWAY WOMAN), November 8, 1949 – April 30, 2012, beloved wife of Ross Black Water Sr., was peacefully called by our creator with family at her side on Monday April 30, 2012. She was born November 8, 1949 at the Blood Indian Hospital. She was born to the late Rufus Piinakoyim and Christine Namaakii (Many Fingers) Goodstriker. Christine was the second youngest of four children Wilton (Evelyn) Goodstriker, Joyce Goodstriker and the late Lorraine Goodstriker. Following the passing of her mother, Christine was raised by her father Rufus. Rufus remarried Celina Brewer in 1958 and had six children; Rufus Jr. Goodstriker, Francis (Godfrey) Weasel Head, Kathleen Goodstriker, Rochelle (Corey) Pace and Leon (Yvette) Goodstriker, also raised with her family as siblings were Stanley (Joanne) Scout, the late Tyrone Eagle Speaker, George Jr. (Toni) Goodstriker, Alvin (Simone) Eagle Child.
Christine met her husband Ross in the late 1960’s and on January 31, 1970 they were married. Together they were blessed with three children; Ross Jr. (Lora) Black Water, Jody Black Water and the late Cassandra Black Water; nine Grandchildren Josie (AJ), Sheree, Quindy, Kassandra, Reynold, Nathel, Jamelyn, Tanner and Eberle and one great grandson Presley.
Christine’s maternal clan was Mamioyiiksi and her parental clan was Ni’taitsskaiksi she was raised traditionally but was also a believer in the Catholic faith and at the time of her passing was still an active member of the Iitskinayiiksi society.
Christine received her education at St. Mary’s Residential School, Alberta Vocational Centre and Lethbridge Community College.
Christine excelled in whatever sport she played, she was also a barrel racer but what she enjoyed the most was working with her father’s race horses. She often travelled with her father to help care for the horses. Her father use to run a camp at Crossbell and she, along with her husband Ross and the late Tyrone Eagle Speaker would herd the horses to Crossbell for her father.
Christine enjoyed mixing business with pleasure with her love of cooking and socializing with friends. She worked as a cook at Kernel Belcher Hospital, Iitoyopi, Blood Indian Hospital, Red Crow College, and Kainai High School. She was also employed with the Blood Tribe Lands Department. Christine had a kind heart and shared her life with people from all walks of life. Everyone who knew her will never forget her trade mark humour and unforgettable laugh.
Christine was a humble person and always undoubtedly thought of everyone she met as her friend. For this reason, the family requested not to list any honorary pallbearers as everyone was her friend. Christine is leaving behind a lasting legacy of kindness and hope that everyone she touched would carry that same quality in memory of her.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Bester, Blood Tribe and Cardston EMS, and the staff of the Intensive Care Unit at the Lethbridge Chinook Hospital. Also, the family would like to express their appreciation to all who have been so helpful in our time of need.
