Ojibway Prayer

by Ojibway (Anonymous)
(19th Century) Timeline

Primal/Tribal/Shamanic : American Indian
19th Century

Grandfather,
Look at our brokenness.
We know that in all creation
Only the human family
Has strayed from the Sacred Way.
We know that we are the ones
Who are divided
And we are the ones
Who must come back together
To walk the Sacred Way.
Grandfather,
Sacred One,
Teach us love, compassion, and honor
That we may heal the earth
And heal each other.
