How long did it take

your people

to stray so far

from the spirit

How long

until they forgot

how to pray

until they saw no

beauty

How long

until they forgot

how to be human

to live with all living things

In peace and harmony

How long will it

take them

to realize that they are

only animals

In the domain of the

Great Spirit.

"Don't feel you're a stranger here.

This is your land, This is my land.

This is Indian country.

My ancestors lived here.

The Great Spirit put them here,

Just like he did the oak trees and the water.

Feel welcome. Let your spirit be free. "
