Oh Great Spirit of our Ancestors,
I raise my pipe to you.
To your messengers the four winds,
and to Mother earth who provides
for your children.
Give us the wisdom to teach our children
to love, to respect, and to be kind
to each other so that they may grow
with peace of mind.
Let us learn to share all good things
that you provide for us on this Earth
"The pipe is us! The stem is our backbone, the bowl our head, the stone our blood, red as our skin. ~ Sioux
