Failed Treaties and Lost Tribes

Crashing cast of misfit warriors
Chasing off scavangers on motherland
Yeah you talk discouraging words
that bands our minds
think not what treateis
you've broken in your lies

Our trails of forgotten paths,
broken dreams
we give out our warrior cries
bluring below blackened skies
cresent with crows,
blue eyes slipping, slying plys

An excerpt: of Chief Seatle

Every shining pine needle
every sandy shore
how can you buy, or sell
the sky?, the land?
the idea is strange to me
if we do not own the freshness of the air
the sparkle of the water
how can you buy them
doesn't seem fair

Every part of the earth is scared
the mist in the dark woods
the meadow, the humming insects
are are holy, in memory
the sap which courses through the trees
as the blood the courses through our viens
we are part of this earth
and the earth is a part of us

Perfumed flowers are our sisters
bear, deer and great eagle
these are our brothers,
rocky crest, the dew in the meadow
body heat of the pony
and man, all belong to the same family

Shining water that moves in the streams
rivers are not just water,
but the blood of our ancestors
how can we sell this land
it is scared, each glossy reflection
in the clear waters tells of events and memories

The air shares its spirit with all life supports
the wind that gave us first breath, also gives it's last sigh, it gives our children the spirit of life, as a place where man can go to taste the wind that is sweetened by the meadow flowers

The earth is our mother, what befalls the earth befalls all the sons of the earth, the earth does not belong to man, the man belongs to earth, all are connected like the blood that unites us all

Man did not weave the web of life
he is merely a strand in it
whatever he does to the web, he does to himself

What will happen when the buffalo are all slaughtered?, the wild horses tamed?
what will happen when the secret corners of the forest are heavy with the scent of many men and the view of the ripe hills blotted with talking wires? Where will the thicket be? Gone!

Where will the eagle be? Gone!
What is to say goodbye to the swift pony and then the hunt? The end of living and the beginning of survival.

When the last red man has vanished with this wilderness, and his memory is only the shadow of a cloud moving across the prairies, will these shores and forest still be here? Will there be any of the spirit of my people there?

Ky'Hoo'Ya!

May you always walk in the sunlight of the Spirit!

I cry out, as one of the many in my tribe
of the Blackfoot Indians,
Noden

MAY THE SUN...

bring you new energy by day.

MAY THE MOON...

softly restore you by night.

MAY THE RAIN...

wash away your worries.

MAY THE BREEZE...

blow new strength into your being.

MAY YOU WALK...

gently through the world and know its beauty all the days of

your life.
