We give thanks to all the waters of the world for quenching our thirst and providing us with strength. Water is life. We know its power in many forms- waterfalls and rain, mists and streams, rivers and oceans. With one mind, we send greetings and thanks to the spirit of Water. Now our minds are one. Translated by: Chuck Larsen, Seneca. Gwa! Now the time has come! Hear us, Lord of the Sky! We are here to speak the truth, For you do not hear lies, We are your children, Lord of the Sky. Now begins the Gayant’ gogwus. This sacred fire and sacred tobacco. And through this smoke. We offer our prayers. We are your children, Lord of the Sky. This prayer takes its inspiration from the verse in Psalm 24, “The earth is God’s.” We begin by acknowledging that this land belongs to no one. We then honor the ancestral Native peoples who cared for this land, followed by our own immigrant ancestors who endured hardship to come here. Our Writing Team invites you to celebrate your Thanksgiving immersed in reading selected prayers and poems from American Indigenous People's perspectives about Thanksgiving. This ancient prayer of Thanksgiving comes from the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) people. The prayer is used to give thanks, bless gatherings, and greet the day. I plan to read it at a Thanksgiving gathering this year and hope it touches your heart as much as it touches mine. These are the opening words of the Ohenten Kariwatekwen, also known as the Thanksgiving Address, a traditional prayer or greeting recited in Akwesasne. Often meetings start and end with the greeting as a way to get everyone in a good mind to work together for the best for all. Cherokee Prayer of Thanksgiving. Ga lu lo hi gi ni du da Sky our grandfather. Nu da wa gi ni li si Moon our grandmother. E lo hi gi ne tse Earth our Mother. Ga li e li ga I am thankful. Si gi ni gé yu We love each other. O sa li he li ga We are grateful —-Source: Manataka American Indian Council. The Thanksgiving Address (the Ohen:ton Karihwatehkwen) is the central prayer and invocation for the Haudenosaunee (also known as the Iroquois Confederacy). Please, set aside 20 minutes of quiet time to recite and reflect upon the Haudenosaunee‘s Thanksgiving Address, which comes from Indigenous people who inhabit the Central region of present day New York State. It is known in the Onondaga language as the “Words That Come Before All Else.”
