" Oh Great Spirit, Whose Voice I Hear in the wind, Whose

breath gives life to the world, hear me. I come to you as one

of  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 that you have made, and my ears sharp to hear

 your voice. Make me wise so that I may know the 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

sunset, my spirit will come to you without shame. "
