Audio file of Otoe-Missouria Robert Moore's "Prayer for the Children". Robert Moore, Manakáje, was of the Owl Clan.

God, I thank you and your Beloved Son
for what you've given us.
You were on this Earth, a person like us.
I thank you
for the children that we have.
God, I want you to look after them in the future,
and to bless them.
I call upon your name, that we might stay well.
In the future, do this for me,
and bless them.
