An Ojibway prayer runs like this: “Grandfather, look at our brokenness, we know that in all creation/ Only the human family/ Has strayed from the Sacred Way./ We know that we are the ones who are divided/ And we are the ones/ Who must come back together/ To walk the Sacred Way/ Grandfather, Sacred One, Teach us love, compassion and honour/ That we may heal the earth/ And heal each other”.
