Native American Religion A Seneca Indian Prayer Now we give thanks to our great Creator. Now smoke rises, it lifts our words to Him, How we speak to Hawenio, the Great Maker, Now he listens to words of people here ... We thank Him for all things that grow. We thank Him for herbs and roots, For bushes and trees that give fruit, For flowers and grasses, For corn and our sustainers of life. We thank Him for rivers and streams that give water, for thunders that bring rain. We thank Him for creatures that live on land, We thank Him for creatures that live in air, and waters, We thank Him for great lights in the sky, For the Sun, our elder brother, that he look on us, For the Moon, that she shine on us at night, For the Stars, that guide men beings .....
