Great Spirit
Grandfather, I send these
words to you, Hear my
prayer. For these are my
words, To Father
Sun, To Grandmother
Moon, To Mother
Earth To all my
relations, That have been
Created as I. To the Four
Winds, That bring us
the Seasons of Life.
To the
East Where Father Sun
rises Bringing to us a
new day A new meaning of
life, A light in which
to see The path before
us. To the
South Where the warm
air comes to us Bringing heat
and warmth, The seasons of
spring And
summer. To the
West Where Father Sun
goes To bring to us
darkness, So as we may see
the universe And search for
the questions Of our life.
To the
North Where the cold
winds come from Bringing to us
the seasons Of fall and
winter. Oh Great
Spirit Hear my
words For to you I
offer My heart and
soul You made
me What I
am And I am

Prisoners of War I pray for my
people of the past Whose blood
covers this our Mother Earth I pray now as an
Indian Blood of my
Ancestors. Great Spirit
