Kachina of the Hopi

Kachina of the Hopi There are so many of you Holding sway with our nation We of the Hopi yearn for your wisdom Your powers over air and water Talk to us in gentle tones Let our ancestors rejoice at our life Let them release us from misery From the memories we had of long ago Let fertility become your watchword As you tend to our people and crops We teach our children of your ways We make your form to show them The creatures of the Earth Adorn the images of your form With feathers and seed of the Earth We will teach our children to walk tall We will sing and dance your praises At the Soyal we will renew our vows Ahola oh ancient one watch over our sun You led our people that long time past We walked from the Mountains of the East To the great plains of the Middle land You showed us the track of the sun Hear us now oh special one We ask only that which we need Forgive us our wants that we can live again Send to us Chaveyo, show those that do wrong Put our people on the road of the Great Spirit You are many where we are now few I will talk to you again Great Spirit Forgive this lowly creature Take my love and praise for ever
