Prayer of Thanks

I've always heard that the Native American people in the Northwoods around Leech Lake -- the Objibwe -- would give thanks to the animals they ate following a hunt, or when fishing. When I selectively harvest fish from the lake, I say the following prayer of thanks before I kill and clean the fish:

Thank you Mother Earth
Thank you Spirit of the Lake
Thank you soul of the walleye
These fish will give their lives so we can have a healthy and delicious meal
Thank you.

I just thought I'd share my little ritual with you.
