Tunkašila, unci maka wamakanškanya

Na maka wita kin le, cannunpa kin le,

Unšimala yo! Omakiya yo!

Mitakuye oyas'in.

Grandfather, Grandmonther,

to the Powers 

in the Animal Nations

of the Four Winds.

Watch over the Sacred Pipe, 

Grandmother Earth,

and the People:

Our Forefathers, Elders,

Little Ones,

and the Unborn.

Grandfather,

I have a genuine need and I need your help.

I pray through the Sacred Pipe

for my People, all life,

for health and happiness.

Grandfather, hear my prayer.

I have a genuine need and I need your help, help me.

We are all related.
