for future generations.

We need silence to be able to touch souls.

which supply us with water.

for the cure of our diseases.

the beans and squashes, which give us life.
We return thanks to the bushes and trees,
which provide us with fruit.

which, moving the air, has banished diseases.
We return thanks to the moon and the stars,
which have given us their light when the sun was gone.
We return thanks to our grandfather He-no,
that he has protected his grandchildren from witches and reptiles,
and has given us his rain.

Lastly, we return thanks to the Great Spirit,
in whom is embodied all goodness,
and who directs all things for the good of his children.
