Happy Indigenous Peoples Day!
The Lord's Prayer, from Matthew 6, First Nations Version
--------------
O Great Spirit,
our Father from above,
we honor your name as sacred and holy.
Bring your good road to us,
where the beauty of your ways in the spirit-world above
is reflected in the earth below.
Provide for us day by day—
the elk, the buffalo, and the salmon.
The corn, the squash, and the wild rice.
All the things we need for each day.
Release us from the things we have done wrong,
in the same way we release others
for the things done wrong to us.
Guide us away from the things that tempt us
to stray from your good road,
and set us free from the evil one and his worthless ways.
Aho! May it be so!
