Oh Great Spirit 
whose voice I hear in the winds 
And whose breath gives life to everyone,


... Hear me ...


I come to you as one of your many children
I am weak .. I am small .. 
I need your wisdom and your strength.


Let me walk in beauty, and make my eyes ever 
behold the red and purple sunsets. 


Make my hands respect the things You have made
and make my ears sharp so I may hear Your voice. 


Make me wise, so that I may understand 
what You have taught my people.


And the lessons You have hidden 
in each leaf and each rock. 


I ask for wisdom and strength
not to be superior to my brothers
But to be able to fight my greatest enemy 


... Myself ...


Make me ever ready to come before You 
with clean hands and a straight eye
So as life fades away as a fading sunset
My spirit may come to You without shame.
