My Invocation for the Feb. 9 County Commission Meeting

Each member of the Oakland County Commission, in turn, has the honor to provide the invocation at the beginning of each County Commission meeting. My turn is tonight, February 9, 2011.

From the book "Native American Wisdom" Edited by Kristen Maree Cleary

"Whenever the statesmen of the League shall assemble they shall offer thanks to the earth where men dwell, to the streams of water, the pools and lakes, to the maize and the fruits. The eagle...is able to see afar. If he sees in the distance any danger threatening, he will at once warn the people of the league.

From the great Law of the Hodenosaunee Confederacy. (Iroquois)
