ANCIENT PRAYER OF THE MENOMINEE TRIBE OF WISCONSIN

"The creator above is the Great Spirit and the Great Mystery, His gifts are plentiful therefore you want not.  He holds out a branch of love and protection and He draws you to where the ground is undisturbed, where the air is pure and the water is clear and clean enough to give life.  You walk, you breathe, you feed, for you are pleasured.  The times when your heart is weak, your circle is out of balance, He lifts you up again and draws you to the good Menominee road, for He is strength and wisdom."
