Pueblo Omaha
at the native peoples of North America, the deep spiritual dimension of life that permeated all events was witnessed by the human invocations, prayers, the sacred ceremonies which were interwoven in the daily life and the rhythm and seasons. Among the various opportunities for prayer and singing the birth of a child was one of the most significant. At many North American peoples believed that life was transmitted to the child by the People Supernatural and his body was blown by the wind. This was established near the heart and from there controlled the movements of the person as a judge. At the birth of a child in the tribe was a wise choice, present at birth, had to bless the new born with a prayer of good wishes as you read that here. The four hills named in the prayer are the four ages of man: childhood, youth, maturity, old age.
