Navajo Chant:


The mountains, I become part of it.
The herbs, the fir tree, I become part of it.
The morning mists, the clouds, the gathering waters,
I become part of it.
The wilderness, the dew drops, the pollen …
I become part of it.

Black Elk Quote:

Hear me, four quarters of the world.
A relative I am!

Give me the strength to walk the soft earth.
Give me the eyes to see and the strength to understand.

Look upon these faces of children without number,
That they may face the winds and walk the good road to the day of quiet.

This is my prayer; hear me.

Bedagi (Big Thunder) Quote:

The Great Spirit is in all things, he is in the air we breathe. The Great Spirit is our Father, but the Earth is our Mother. She nourishes us, that which we put into the ground she returns to us … - Bedagi (Big Thunder), Wabanaki Algonquin, 1900s
