Thank you so much.
Please pray with us and with the grandmothers.
And please pray for the Earth.
And please pray for the future.
And please pray for all the people.
And please pray for the people and children in Fukushima, Japan.
We thank God for letting us pray together with all the people here in Alaska.
We thank God for letting us pray for a good future for all of us.
Let us dedicate our prayer for all of you.
We pray for this good star full of water and life that it will continue forever.
We pray for this good star to live forever.
We beg God to guide us, protect us and sustain us to life together in peace.
(Words of God)
Children of the people, try to think what you can do on the way you walk together.
The way you walk together is in your hands.
And the future that you are heading for is also in your hands.
So extend your hands.
Your life is always together with others and with this star.
You are part of this star.
You are one of the people who live on this star.
Life is always with you.
Never forget your life that is together with others.
The wisdom is with you and it will visit you always.
It will stay with your life and with this star.
A Song of Prayer
We are together with life.
Let us never forget.
Let us know about life from the words of our mothers.
Let us know about ourselves from the cares of our mothers.
Let us connect all of our future with this star.
And please protect, guide and sustain us.
To go on this way, a long way, a sound way,
Together with other living lives on this star.
So let us pray!
Thank you so much.
