An Agonquian Indian Prayer

Of Transmission

In Spirit Word

Oh Grand Father the sky

Oh Grand Mother the Earth

Grant unto us your holy blessing

In which we sustain all of your needs

We do obey your commands we respect

Our Mother the Earth let our quest for

Knowledge be as spacious as the sky and

The magnificent Eagle that soars high in

Your universal kingdom let our presence

Be full of your wisdom let thy wisdom

Elevate us in fullness as the wings span of

The magnificent eagle of Grand Father Great

Supreme Spirit bless our borders with plenty

Of rain unto us and to thy kingdom of nature

That bring forth the three sisters corn, beans, and

Squash, which are necessary for us to live a

Continuous life of bliss and bless our cousins

The Bear, Buffalo, Cougar, and the agility

Of the Deer who has a keen sense of alertness

And majestic prowess we will always honor

And respect your universal kingdom of the born

And unborn.

Walk Mother Earth in balance and in peace

Because beneath our feet lay the bones

Of our noble ancestors.
