Linda, The following prayer was passed along from one of our Oklahoma Wyandotte sisters in regards to the use of Huron Cemetery as a land base for casino gaming.

The Unknown Pouch

Sorrow, great sorrow,
The vultures are circling with pride in their eyes.
Salaciously they check their prey,
The wound has been made, the smell of blood is strong.
Sorrow, great sorrow, will no one hear of this wrong?

Hope, great hope
With pain in his eyes
Unchecked is the pouch in his hand
Unknown, it's power prolonged
Hope, great hope, will some one sing of this song?

Let the verse continue with the story, Let us see how it turns out.

I pray for the cause of the people, for their minds, souls, body and
spirits.  I pray for the vultures to be revealed for what and who they are.

I pray for the scales to be removed from the eyes of the elders in the Oklahoma Council.  I pray for wisdom, for courage, for a shield about the breast of the elders.  A helmet of protection.  I pray that they may be allowed to smell the stench of the death prepared by the vultures.  Let the spirit of mammon be bound and struck down.

I pray for wisdom of the council in Kansas.  I pray for courage.  I pray that hope will be given to them.  Doth not wisdom cry and knowledge put forth her voice? She cries at the top of the high places, by the way, by the places of the paths.........(Proverbs 8)

In Jesus Name
