I Need your guidance to grow up so that I
May help my people grow strong & wise

Let my day begin with my eyes seeing all the
Beauty you have made.

Let my ears hear your voice on the winds
That bring us the air to breathe.

Let my moccasins only walk in the footsteps
Of my ancestors on the Indian red road.

Let my hands do good for myself, and for my
People, and never be raised against my
Brother.

When I speak, let it be to remember to say
Thank you for all the gifts received daily.
Let me never fail to say thank you to …
Mother earth for providing food to sustain
Our very lives.

Help me to remember who I am, my ….
Ancestors, and where I come from & where I
Am going.  Bless my people with strength so
That we will always be here to sing, and lift
Our voice in prayer to honor you!
