Pharm Girl,

Thanks for the wonderful posts! My understanding is that one of the names for the Great Spirit is "Father Sky". Can you confirm this? I find it very interesting because in the Bible the Greek words that are translated "Heavenly Father" are ouranios pater.
  • Ouranios is celestial, that is, belonging to or coming from the sky
  • Pater is a “father” (literally or figuratively, near or more remote)
Ouranos pater, then, is "Celestial Father" or "Sky Father".

...Father Sky.

Mitakuye oyas’in
