Ho, Wiyopeyata ouye, power of the setting sun we call on you
Have pity on us that the people may live.
Wakinya, thunder beings of the black west, we call on you
who ride the black minne wichoni, the life-giving rains.
For long years , the way of the people has been weak and
there has been fear. Many have said that the red road would
disappear and that the six powers and Wakan Tanka would turn
their faces from us.
It is true that many of the old ways have been lost. But
just as the life-giving rains restore the earth after the drought ,
so your power will restore the Way and give it new life.
We ask this not only for the red people but for all
the people that they may live. In ignorance and carelessness they have walked upon Ina Maka, our Mother. They did not understand
that they are part of all beings, the four-legged, the winged,
grandfather rock, the tree people, and our star brothers. Now the
earth and all our relations are crying out. They cry for the help
of all people.
Native American Prayer
