"Oh Great Spirit, whose Voice I hear in the winds, and whose Breath gives life to all the world, hear me, for I am small and weak. I need your strength and wisdom. Let me walk in beauty and let 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. Me me wise, so that I may understand the things you have taught my people. Let me learn the lessons that you have hidden in every leaf and every rock. I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy-myself. Make me always ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes. So when life fades, as the fading sunset, my spirit may come to you without shame."
