They ascribe power to the four directions...west, north, east, south and also father sky and mother earth.
Mother earth is who they thank for her generosity so the prayer they were offering probably ended with a thanks to Mother Earth.
We may not all agree with their methods but they see life different than we do and the more we understand, the more we can get along.

I would hope they at least gave a courteous 'we're gonna put the net in between you and shore if you want to move first'? Anyhow, hopefulyl it was all non incident related for all parties and a good day likewise. Thanx for the interesting report.

9/21/2011 6:09:00 PMI am going to be nice and not say much about the Indians. They are the ones that need to work on getting along with the rest of us.
I have seen problems on other areas and rivers. I one case the Indian game warden showed up and with out any provocation started a very threatening tirade on the rest of us. We were not on the reservation and had no idea what if any authority he had. To Mr. John, all I can say is so what. They need a little lesson in respect. I you want respect you have to give respect.
