Topash's
Prayer
Megwitch
We thank the
Great
Spirit, our grandfather,
who made
the
father sky with dancing stars,
the mother
Earth of
rock, soil and waters,
the sun that
warms.
The Great
Spirit brought
upon this beautiful
place the
growing
things.
He made the
crawling
creatures,
as well as
soaring
winged ones.
The four
leggeds he
made to teach us
and become food
for
the people.....
the People who
are
to walk in the balance
of the entire
universe
of the Great Spirit.
We offer our
saymaa
and repeat Megwitch
with each
coming of
the dawn.
Megwitch to
the East
Megwitch to the
West
Megwitch to the
South
Megwitch to the
North
Megwitch to all
that
is below
Megwitch to all
that
is above
The manitou
is everywhere.
The center
of our universe
is
within.
The drum beats
as
our heart.
The high
keening and
deep chest
sounds of song
celebrate
our journey.
This is a
journey
of balance of Nishnawbe
People. We walk
in
the circle of the
seasons and
generations.
