O Great Spirit whose voice we hear in the winds
and whose breath gives life to all the world,
Hear Us, We are small and weak.
We come to you in mind to find strength and wisdom.
Let us walk in beauty and make our eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset.
Make our hands respect the things you have made and our ears sharp to hear you voice.
Make us wise so that we may understand the things you have taught our relatives.
Let us learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock.
We seek strength, not to be greater than our brothers and sisters,
but to fight our greatest enemy-ourselves.
Make us always ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes.
So when life fades, as the fading sunset, our spirit may come to you without shame.
