It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved husband, father, brother, grandfather, great-grandfather, and Great-great-grandfather BERNARD SHOUTING on October 09, 2021, at the age of 80 years surrounded by his be loved family. Bernard was born in Cardston, AB on March 6th, 1941. Bernard is survived by his loving wife of 62 years Agnes First Charger, Children Karen (Dan) Mcginnis, Warren (Alana) Shouting, Steven (shelly) Shouting, Dwight (Emily) Panther Bone, Robbie First Charger, 27 grandchildren, 36 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great grandson and Adoptive daughter Pamela Beareshin Bone: Also, Sisters Christine Little Bear, Brenda Chief Moon, Nina Buckskin, Theresa Mistaken Chief, Brothers Gordon Morning Bird, Jerry Wells, Harrison Wolf Child and special friend Raymond Calf Robe.

Bernard was born on the Blood Reserve at the Blood Indian Hospital on March 6th, 1941, to Mother Maggie Crazy Crow and Father Ambrose Shouting. He was raised in the bull horn and Moses Lake areas, and he attended the St. Mary’s Residential school at a very young age. During his time at school, he took interest in many things which included woodwork, mechanics, and other useful trades and skills he gained that he would later use to support his growing family. While in school he took interest in rodeo, baseball, and hockey. He was a goaltender for the Magrath hockey team in the 60s and could play many positions on the baseball field. In later days while still in school, he meets the love of his life Agnes, and this is where his role of a family man began. They were blessed with 7 children which they raised together and as well as many grandchildren till his passing. He worked for Gibb Schaffer for many years in construction, he was employed at the Magrath canning factory as well as a cook. He was labeled as a jack of all trades and wouldn’t refuse any kind of work. He was always up for a challenge. He worked as an addiction’s councillor at the St. Paul’s Treatment Center before he began his journey with Blood Tribe Recreation. Bernard’s love for sports leads him to take interest in forming and coaching youth boys and girls’ softball and fastball. He was great at organizing social dances, and many other different social functions. Because there were no available halls at the time, he would personally transport the youth to the surrounding communities for an hour to use their gyms for a little fun. During this time, he was employed with the Blood Tribe Recreation and with help from the Moses Lake and recreation committees, they were able to have a recreational hall built in the Moses Lake community. This would then lead to other communities wanting the same resource for our youth in the surrounding communities. He also spent most of time at the cross-bell campgrounds, teaching the youth cultural knowledge and survival in our natural habitat. This gave him the idea to start a youth group called The Youth-men Society. He taught the youth how to make drums, learn how to sing, and create their own songs, because this was one of Bernard’s may talents composing contemporary traditional songs. As Bernard grew older, he led a simple life and taking part in our ceremonial Sundance’s for many years to which he still honored and practiced till the day he took his last breath. He had many opportunities to travel the world with his wife, such places as New Zealand where he was honored to sing an honor song for the Mauri Queen, Australia he stood and in front of the Ayers Rock known as Uluru, Hawaii, and many other places. The love of singing and his strong voice and songs were noticed by many worldwide and when I say world, I mean his songs and voice can be heard all over the world from across Canada, United States, over oceans and seas. You can still hear his songs being heard and sung by many great lead singers today and far as Germany.
If you asked a hundred people who Bernard Shouting was, you would get a hundred different responses. He was a man of many talents; But he had a passion for singing, which included contemporary songs and ceremonial songs. Bernard was a lead singer, song composer, teacher, mentor, and role model to the youth and to all who knew him. He was never hesitant to teach anyone who was willing to learn. He was one of a kind with a heart like no other; But to Bernard and his loved ones, his biggest role was that of a family man, father, and a much-adored grandfather. He will be greatly missed by the many who knew him, and we would like to apologize for anyone who may have been missed or not mentioned.
The Wake Service will be held on Tuesday, October 19 at the Tanner Senior Center (260 1 St W), Cardston from 6:00 - 11:00 pm. The Funeral Service will take place on Wednesday, October 20 at Legacy Funeral Home at 12:00 pm. A public viewing will take place from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm before the service. (The service will be limited to 50 people). Interment to follow in Pioneer Cemetery, Blood Reserve.
