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 and 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.
Meet other local Indigenous peoples, First Nations, Inuit, Métis & Friends who are interested in Native American Language, Culture and Heritage. This meetup group is defined by its members and all are welcome, act with courage.
May your moccasins leave tracks
On many mounds of worth,
And walk with Chiefs of every tribe
Who live in peace on Earth.

The Salishan languages are a group of languages of the Pacific Northwest. Salish is characterised by agglutinativity and astonishing consonant clusters. A word could have 12 consonants in a row with out the urge to glue in a few binding vowels.
All Salishan languages are endangered—some extremely so with only three or four speakers left. Read more
