Raymond Joseph Hotomani

Raymond Joseph Hotomani, Thunders Coming, at the age of 37 years, has    suddenly decided to make his Journey home in the evening of September 4, 2022.

Thunders Coming was welcomed to his new home, September 13, 1984. He chose Bonnie Peigan (nee Hotomani) to be his forever mom.

My Ray is pre deceased by his cousins Peter Jr Parisian, and Jonathan Parisian; his uncle Ian Joel Hotomani, and uncle Peter Parisian Sr.; his kokum Ula M Hotomani - mushoom Joseph G Wasacase; his great kokum Emily D Hotomani (nee Louison) - great mushooms Victor WhiteQuill, and great mushoom Herman Hotomani; and great great grandparents John and Alice Hotomani of Carry The Kettle First Nation.

Raymond is survived by his only son Tecumseh Duncan Derek Hotomani;  brothers Derek Lee Hotomani - Patricia Daniels, Daywalker Murdock, and Joel Zane Peigan; grandson Alex Bear-Michelle; nephews King Murdock, and Athin Parisian; nieces Rebecca Michelle, Tayanna Michelle, Tia Daniels, and Lillee Hotomani.

Raymond was definitely a voice to be reckoned with. He learned to sing traditional powwow songs at a very young age and loved dancing at powwows as a Grass Dancer, Chicken Dancer, and Hoop Dance. He loved sharing his culture and traditions with whoever offered and wanted to learn. He sang at various powwows and performed in many countries, such as Germany, Sweden, France, Mexico, New Mexico, and various states.

He took over where his uncle Ian left off, helping at the University of Manitoba, University of Winnipeg, RRCC and various school in Winnipeg, as either Arena Director, or teaching regalia making, colors, and stories told to him to share.

Raymonds son Tecumseh was his pride and joy, Tecumseh was the strength and love of his life.
