“O Great Spirit, our Father from above, 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 good 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.
And guide us away from the things that tempt us to stray from your good road.”
–Luke 11:2b-4, First Nations Version: An Indigenous Translation of the New Testament
