PRAYER FOR THE WHITE MAN
  
And now, Grandfather, I ask you to bless the White Man.
He needs your Wisdom, your guidance.

You see, for so long, he has tried to destroy my people, and only feels comfortable when given power.

Bless them, show them the peace we understand, teach them humility.
For I fear they will someday destroy themselves and their children, As they have done so Mother Earth.

I plead, I cry. After all, They are my Brothers...
