Go outside today, sit or lie down on Grandmother Earth, and thank her for all that she has provided for you and your family.

Get out your drums and sing this Lakota song of thanks with me, Take off your shoes, feel the earth beneath you, and connect your breath with her loving heartbeat! Aho

Unci Maka, pilamaya, pilamayelo (hey)

Unci Maka, pilamaya, pilamayelo (hey)

Taku iyuha mayak’u we

Canke wani yelo (hey)

Grandmother Earth, thank you, thank you

Grandmother Earth, thank you, thank you

For everything that you give to me

So I can live.
