Song of Turning the Child (Omaha)

I
Ye four, come hither and stand, near shall ye stand;
In four groups shall ye stand;
Here shall ye stand, in this place stand.

II
Turned by the winds goes the one I send yonder;
Yonder he goes who is whirled by the winds;
Goes, where the four hills of life and the four winds are standing;
There, in the midst of the winds do I send him,
Into the midst of the winds, standing there.

III
Here unto you has been spoken the truth;
Because of this truth you shall stand.
Here, declared is the truth.
Here in this place has been shown you the truth.
Therefore, arise! Go forth in its strength!
