Thanksgiving Prayer

The fact that Thanksgiving joins European and Native American cultures has been over looked for far too long. With each observance of this uniquely American holiday, we should revere and bless both Christan and Native American tenants that have sustained us all in this blessed land. More info on the first Thanksgiving can be found here


Thanksgiving Prayer

We return thanks to our mother, the earth, which sustains us.

We return thanks to the rivers and streams, which supply us with water.

We return thanks to all herbs, which furnish medicines for the cure of our diseases.

We return thanks to the moon and stars, which have given to us their light when the sun was gone.

We return thanks to the sun, that has looked upon the earth with a beneficent eye.

Lastly, we return thanks to the Great Spirit, in Whom is embodied all goodness, and Who directs all things for the good of Her children.
