1 thought on “Tribal Prayer”
When I was a young guy 9 or 10 which is now 60 years ago, I went to a summer camp near Goderich, Ontario, Canada. Camp Chickigami
Everynight after the campfire we would say this verse
Wakonda dhe dhu. Wapodhin atonhe
Lord a needy one stands before you; I who sing am he.
