We give thanks to the Stars who are spread across the sky…
““We give thanks to the Stars who are spread across the sky like jewellery. We see them in the night helping the Moon to light the darkness and bringing dew to the gardens and growing things. When we travel at night they guide us home. With our minds gathered as one we send greetings and thanks to all the Stars." The word for "stars" in Mohawk is o:tsis:tah (pronounced oh:jees:dah)””
