Although the text doesn’t match completely, here is Dolores Sand’s translation of the text into Plains Cree (in case you’d like to sing along).

Hail Mary full of Grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed are thou among women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus.
Holy Mary Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now
and at the hour of our death
Amen.
