Mohawk Prayer

“AHO”
Creator….Great Spirit
I ask humbly to allow me to walk,
The Good Red Road,
And if I fall off of it once in a while,
If it pleases you,
Let me crawl back on and start again, like a baby,
One step at a time.

Then when I come to the end of the road ,
And come to where I cross the river,
Allow me to cross it,
With clear eyes and a clean heart.
So I can meet my Ancestors on the other side,
With my head held proudly.

I work with Muskwa International Foundation Inc. which is an entity that was formed to assist the street children in the Philippines, mostly in Manila and Davao, the two largest cities in the Philippines.  You can find out about their projects here Street Children and Natural Disasters.

The stories I tell here I learned from the Elders and Story tellers and I am passing them on with their blessings. These stories can be anything from 4,000 to 5,000 years old.
