WAKANYEJA – A Prayer for the Children
Wakanyeja is Lakota for “sacred seed.”
This traditional prayer song honors the purity and sacredness of children.
That is what we at The Mitakuye Foundation are dedicated to: uplifting and empowering Native Youth!
Listen to the little kids playing outside
Like the summer clouds playing in the sky
Free as the hummingbirds
Free as the butterflies
Like the summertime flowers
Colors of happiness
Happiness in their hearts
Wakanyeja was created as part of our Artist Mentoring program.
