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.

Allow my eyes to always behold the red and purple sunset.  

Help my hands respect the things you have made.  

Open my ears to the sound of your voice.

Give me wisdom that I may understand the things you have taught my fathers. 

Help me learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock.

I need your strength not to be greater than my brother, but to stand against my greatest enemy:  my self.

Prepare me in all ways to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes.

When my mortal body fades, just as the sunset fades into the night, may my spirit come to you with no fear or shame.
