Cheyenne proverb

Until the hearts of its women are on the ground.
Then it is finished,
No matter how brave its warriors.
Or how strong their weapons."
Cheyenne Prayer
Great Spirit, Great Spirit, My Grandfather
All over the earth the faces
of living things are all alike
Look upon these faces of children without number
And with children in their arms
That they may face the winds and
Walk the good road to the day of quiet
Lakota (Sioux) Prayer
Oh Great Spirit
Whose voice I hear in the winds,
And whose breath gives life to all the world,
hear me, I am small and weak,
I need your strength and wisdom.
Let me walk in beauty
and make my eyes ever behold the red & purple sunset.
Make my hands respect the things you have made
and my ears sharp to hear your voice.
Make me wise so that I may understand,
the things you have taught my people.
Let me learn the lessons you have
hidden in every leaf and rock.
I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother,
but to fight my greatest enemy - myself.
Make me always ready to come to you
with clean hands and straight eyes.
So when life fades as the fading sunset,
my spirit may come to you without shame.
Chief Yellow Lark, Lakota
Navajo Prayer
"There will be happiness before us.
There will be happiness behind us.
There will be happiness above us.
There will be happiness below us.
There will be happiness around us
Words of happiness shall extent from our mouths.
For we are the essence of life".

Cherokee name for the sacred eagle is
AWAHILI
"In an eagle there is all the wisdom of the world."
A Dreamer's Sign
The hawk is a dreamers sign,
She sings as she flies,
She brings a true message
Her voice sings no lies
She drinks of the rivers
To make her voice clear
The trees are all budding
And springtime is near
She wings to the dreamer
Then floats to a tree
Ever singing the message
Of that yet to be.
Ann Monken (Star Hawk)
For as different as we all seem
when details are compared
we are all one

Sacred Flight
Crying Wolf(Cheyenne)
Grandfather, the Mighty Eagle has much wisdom, for it follows the footsteps of the old one.
Your new journey takes you beyond the Great Waters. You shall always walk at my side, for in you I have found my way. I have listened to the trees their song has touched my heart. This
sacred place among the mountains and clouds shall be filled with your spirit?
Grandson be as the fresh winter snow for it provides new waters. For it is I, Eagle Guides His Arrows, that shall provide for you. Keep your visions keen as the sight of the Eagle, your strength as his great wings. Our paths are of the same, the sky has many shades. When the sacred rains come they are for your pleasures.
Grandfather your bow has much strength, your arrows have soared to great lengths. Your great shield has protected your heart, from many enemies. In all my strengths I shall find the wisdom
to carry my own shield. The White Eagle has left me with a saddened heart. In the Scared Sky I shall see your face, Father Sun shall carry your warmth.
Young brave go and hunt well for many go hungry. It is you that shall become as I. The Mighty Eagle always grasps for the arrow of wisdom. Feed not your people the meat that fills their
stomachs. I have gifted you with the many ways a spirit can be filled. My lance has found the hides that have kept your people warm. We have found much wisdom in the many seasons throughout
our journey?
Grandfather my heart has cried and my tears are silent as this Sacred Flight. I shall see the Eagle catch his meat and my arrows shall fly in the same winds. Have a safe journey grandfather, for the footsteps you leave I shall follow.
Thank you Grandfather!
