We will be of one heart

O Our Creator and Great Grandfather of all,

 

Who dwells in the Spirit land known as heaven,

 

We beg that you look toward us, your children

 

Who live here on Mother Earth and hear our prayer: Because, Our Creator, we learn to believe with the highest respect,

 

The law you had set forth.

 

We ask that you bring to us, this day,

 

Good spirits from the four directions:

 

East, South, West, North

 

So that when we put our minds together for this gathering,

 

We will be of one heart before we leave

 

Bless us with understanding, strength and compassion

 

And may we always walk the path to heaven

 

That you made for us.

 

 

Micmac Prayer

 

We are made from Mother Earth and we go back to Mother Earth.
