Native American Heritage Day

Reflection

“When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice.” –Cherokee proverb

Prayer

Unifying Spirit,

We set aside time this month to express our admiration for the heritage of the indigenous peoples of North America. We raise a collective voice of gratitude for the diversity of their cultures and traditions, spiritual wisdom, and habits of being and doing, which have been preserved and extended down through today, even in the face of so much adversity. As we all strive together towards building a better future for ourselves and the generations to come, we continue to trust that respect for our diversity is the very ground of our unity. As one family before you, Amen.
