“It was in the winters
Before The People
Came into being
That Star Woman Came.
She saw Mother Earth
And thought her lonely.
All praise Star Woman.
Star Woman spoke to
The Great Sprit of this.
He agreed,
Mother Earth
Needed children to love.
Together Great Spirit
And Star Woman
Fashioned The People.
Brother to the wild things.
From the dust of the Stars
From the Oceans made them.
Gave them life with
A warm breath from
White Tatanka’s mouth.
Awaken, Great Spirit’s children.
Blessed them with
Plenty, and faith.
Set them in a good land.
Made us caretakers
Of our Mother Earth.
Walk softly on our Mother.
Great Spirit spoke to them,
‘Care well for your Mother,
Love her, keep her happy.’
I will watch over you,
And shine upon you.
Great Sprit’s first promise.
In times of great trouble,
I will return to you,
And never abandon you.
You are my children,
Born of the dust of the stars
And the tears of Mother Earth.
Heed Great Spirit’s words.”
