"But first, let us join hands and pray."

-Starleaf, SHINNECOCK

Where two or more human beings are joined

Together for a common cause, the helpers

And the Grandfathers will show up to help.

When our Indian people come together, the

Elders say, "always pray first - do a ceremony

And ask the Creator to be with us and to help

Us. We can never pray enough." The Elders

Also say, "pray in a circle because the Creator

Made things in circles. When we stand in a

Circle and pray together, a sacred hoop will

Form above the people. This is the spiritual

Way."

Oh Great

Spirit,

Through my

Prayers I can

Find Your

Guidance. I

Pray You

Guide my path

Today. Touch

My life with

Your holy

Breath.
