GANOHONYOHK-Thanksgiving Prayer (original Cayuga)-Album; Raindance.

DISCLAIMER BELOW

The Thanksgiving Prayer pays homage to the Creator, offering thanks to the Great Spirit and to all other spiritual forces. For the Haudenosaunnee, the Spirit Forces are thanked in order of their age and closeness to Mother Earth. The speaker praises the youngest spirits first-the plans and the powerful medicines growing up from the ground, the low lying fruits and the strawberry (I a sacrament used in ceremonies). He honors the bushes and forests and the venerable maple tree. So too he revers the animal spirits and the lakes and the streams and offers thanks for the food provided by the Great Spirit.
When the Creator was finished making Mother Earth, it is said he created spiritual forces above the earth, appointing them to safe- guard His creation. And so the speaker invokes our Grandfathers- the Thunders, who bring the rains, snow and clear skies, our Older Brother- the Sun, who brightens and warms the earth, and our Grandmother- the Moon, who rises to grace the night sky, alongside the Stars.
The prayer then addresses the revealer and offers thanks to the Seneca prophet Handsome Lake. And, as the Thanksgiving Prayer draws to a close, the speaker pays homage to the oldest Spirit Forces; the Four Winds and the Creator.

This is an amazing video, the only trouble I has was actually hearing the speaker saying the Ganohonyohk. Is there any way you can redo it so you can hear the speaker clearly? I turned my speakers up as loud as they would go but still couldn't understand it as I would have liked to.

@trav1706 ; I'm sorry but I can't get the audio harder. Have you tried to change the audio settings on your computer; right below you might have the button 'menu' and next to the right you can adjust the volume.

Where did you shoot these pictures? Absolutely breathtaking!

I couldn't understand the prayer, but it must be something beautiful, too!

[arafel1964]

Thanks for your reaction. I didn't shoot these pictures but downloaded them from nature wallpaper sites. In the info is described what is said. The man thanks for all live and all creatures.

This is an amazing video. Are you able to redo it so you can hear the Ganohonyohk clearly? I turned my speakers up as loud as they would go but still couldn't hear it as well as I would like to
