"An Indian Prayer Christmas Day"

 

Great Spirit Grandfather, 
I send these words to you, 
To Father Sun, 
Grandmother Moon, 
To all of my relations, 
To Mother Earth, 
And to the Four Winds 
The Sacred Seasons of Life. 
Grandfather, 
Today you gave 
The breath of Life 
To an Indian Child, 
In a most Sacred Way. 
Grandfather, 
This Indian Child 
Will walk amongst 
His people, 
With his head held high, 
With dignity and pride, 
In a most Sacred Way. 
Grandfather, 
This Indian Child 
Will stand before 
His people, 
With honor 
And respect, 
In a most Sacred Way. 
Grandfather, 
This Indian Child 
Will be strong 
With wisdom, knowledge 
And understanding, 
That will come from 
The heart, soul and mind, 
In a most Sacred Way. 
Grandfather, 
This Indian Child 
Will come before 
A humble Nation of people, 
And like his relations 
The Eagle and the Buffalo 
Will be their strength 
In a most Sacred Way. 
Grandfather, 
This Indian Child 
You gave to us in a sacred way, 
And with his eyes 
He will see all that is good, 
And with his ears, 
He will hear all that is good, 
And the words he will speak 
Will be strong and powerful, 
In a most Sacred Way. 
Grandfather, 
This Indian Child 
That you have brought before us, 
Your Native American Indian people, 
Will be like his Ancestor's 
That have gone before him 
On their journey, 
Will always travel 
Within the Sacred Circle of Life 
In a most Sacred Way. 
Grandfather, 
This Indian Child 
Will use 
His Eagle Feathers, 
His Sacred Pipe, 
His Sacred Cedar, 
His Sacred Sage, 
His Sacred Sweetgrass, 
His Drums and Songs 
In his Sacred Sun Dance, 
In his Sacred Sweat Lodge, 
In his Sacred Ceremonies, 
In a most Sacred Way. 
Grandfather, 
This Indian Child will be strong within, 
His tradition, culture 
And religion, 
An intricate heritage, 
In a most Sacred Way. 
Grandfather, 
Thank you for each breath of life 
Tha you have given to our New Born, 
For tomorrow, 
Another Indian Child 
Will be born the "Indian Way."
