NATIVE WINDS
By Ari John White Wolf
---
I walked up to the waters edge
and lifted my hands up to the sky
O native winds, won't you speak to me this day
O native winds, I just have so much to say.
The eagle flew on great winds and landed beside me
there appeared a great Indian Chief
I said o grandfather
am I allowed to sspeak to you?
He said yes
Grandfather won't you give me a vision or show me a path?
he said before we being
you must remember this above all things
the land is not yours, the land is not mine
Grandfather I can do that
He said good, Open up your eyes
and let the scales fall to the ground
I saw sister rabbit hopping down the way
Cousin deer she juped over a fallen tree
uncle otter swam in the river
aunt racoon she played a game
grandfather tree he looked over everything
father bear was sleeping
mother falcon flew overhead
The land is not yours the land is not mine
Grandfather tell me what all of this means?
he said it's very simple all that you see is the medicine wheel
it contains fire, water, air, earth, spirit
The people of fire are europeans, the industrial age has come
the people of the air are asians, herbs are used wisely
Those of water, they are africans, that is where they came from
the earth are the native americans, stewards with love.
the land is not yours, the land is not mine
with tears in my eyes, i said thank you
before the utterance came from my mouth
grandfather flew away as an eagle again
while the native winds produced a tune I could hear
The land is not yours the land is not mine
O native winds, thank you for speaking to me this day
O native winds, I no longer have so much to say
