" ... I know that she was ... orphaned young and I have children that were orphaned that I have raised. And I pray to her, and I say, 'You know that these children are going through. You were an orphan yourself. Help them to cope with it.'... And then I say, 'you`re up there with God. You know me, you know Indians, you know who we are. So that's how I pray now."
