Wakan Tanka from Wakan Tanka by Ambient Shrine

"I pray to God first
so that I may live
I pray to God first
that I may live with my people

Pray to Great Spirit
pray to God
whatever you do
always praise Him first"

In Lakota spirituality, Wakan Tanka is the term for the sacred or the divine. This is usually translated as the "Great Spirit" and occasionally as "Great Mystery".

Wakan Tanka can be interpreted as the power or the sacredness that resides in everything, resembling some animistic and pantheistic beliefs. This term describes every creature and object as wakȟáŋ ("holy") or having aspects that are wakȟáŋ. The element Tanka or Tȟáŋka corresponds to "Great" or "large".
