Oh Great Spirit
whose voice I hear in the wind
whose breath gives life to the world
Hear me!
I come to you as your many children
I am small and weak
I need your strength and wisdom
May I walk in beauty
Make my eyes behold the red and purple Sunset
Make my hands respect the things you have made
And my ears sharp to hear your voice
Make me wise so that I may know things
That you have taught your children-
The lessons that you have hidden in every leaf and rock
Make me strong, not to be superior to my brothers
But to be able to fight my greatest enemy:myself
Make me ever ready to come to you with straight eyes
so that when life fades as the faded Sunsets
My spirit will come to you with no shame
