A Prayer
Grandfather, Mysterious One, We search for you
along this Great Red Road you have set us on.
Sky Father, Tunkashila,
We thank you for this world.
We thank you for our own existence.
We ask only for your blessing and for your
instruction.
Grandfather, Sacred One,
Put our feet on the holy path that leads to you,
and give us the strength and the will to lead ourselves
and our children past the darkness we have entered
Teach us to heal ourselves, to heal each other and to
heal the world.
Let us begin this very day, this very hour,
the Great Healing to come.
Leonard Peltier
