Sioux Prayer

Grandfather Great Spirit


All over the world the faces of living ones are alike.

 

With tenderness they have come up out of the ground.


Look upon your children that they may face the winds

 

And walk the good road to the Day of Quiet.


Grandfather Great Spririt

 

Fill us with the Light.


Give us the strength to understand, and the eyes to see.


Teach us to walk the soft Earth as relatives to all that live.
