(By permission from Alice C. Fletcher's "Indian Story and Song.")
Translation:
Father a needy one stands before thee;
I that sing am he.
This old Indian prayer is sung by the Council standing in a great circle
about the fire with feet close together, hands and faces uplifted, for
it is addressed to the Great Spirit. At the final bars the hands and
faces are lowered to the fire.
