From H2O Man:

For such meetings, I carry the wampum that Chief Waterman assigned to me. So, I opened the meeting with a variation of the traditional "greeting of thankfulness." Then, as Chief Waterman had instructed me for such contexts, I noted that the people gathered together followed many different paths, and that each of these lead to the same place. Today, I said, we have the opportunity to explain our path to others, and to listen to others describe their paths. More, even if we did not fully understand or agree with other paths, we had the chance to be respectful to those walking those paths. Let us put our minds together, and determine what type of future we can create.

A truly great Spirit.
