I found the text in Russian and i asked my friend to interpret it . According to him, below the prayer was a note saying that it was part of the Ojibwa tradition. Since i do not know what tradition is referred to, I reproduce only the words written:
" I have sought to understand the voice of the wind and the breath that created me, so listen to me.
" I come to thee as one of Your many children. I am fallible and small ; I need Your wisdom and strength. Let me walk in Your beauty, and make my eyes always see the red and purple of dusk. Make my hands respect the things that You have created, and enable my ears to understand Your voice.
"Make me wise so that i can absorb what You have taught my people and learn the lessons that You hane hidden in each leaf and each rock.
" I beg You for strength and wisdom, not to be better than my brothers but so that I can defeat the worst enemy i have: myself. In that way my spirit will be able to return to You without sin."
