A Prayer (Havasupai tribe)

Sun, my relative, be good coming out.

Do something good for us.

Make me work, so I can do anything in the garden.

I hoe, I plant corn, I irrigate.

You, sun, be good going down at sunset.

We lay down to sleep, I want to feel good.

While I sleep you come up.

Go on your course many times.

Make good things for us.

Make me always the same as I am now.
