It makes you rather ashamed of what "civilized" man did to a wonderful, proud people.
Great poem, very well written.

moving on the prairie like waves by the breeze,...' '...I love the land and I told our Medicine Man,
“when I die, follow to the letter my last wish,
make a great pyre of dead wood and put me there,
ignite the fire until there is nothing left of me.”..."

"Then came 'civilized' man."
And we spread like locusts, taking whatever we wanted, without regard for who or what we trampled down. We call ourselves 'civilized,' but in reality, we were land grabbing terrorists. |

| Our teachers tell us that all things within this universe wheel know of their harmony with every other thing, and know how to give away one to the other; except man, it is we alone who do not begin our lives with knowledge of this great harmony. Our determining spirit can be made whole only by the learning of our harmony with all creatures and our brothers and sisters. We must do this to find our place within the medicine wheel. To determine this place we must learn to give away! {From Seven Arrows} |

I truly love this poem, Georg, you know how connected I am to "the land" and it's people.
I am going to Virginia to study and research the Native Americans in the Potomac and Chesapeake Bay area for my Karena books. I shall carry this poem with me when I go and walk the same ground that I shall be writing about. Wish me well and may the Great Spirit keep you safe and well.
Peace, love, and Light,

| Great historical writing, can feel the rivers rushing by and being able to canoe on them. Freedom was truly good then and the peoples were united in one thing, keeping their lives going, A gread pile of wood just would cremate you. Good thinking and put your ashes over the land that you love. |

Powerful, powerful poem and what a way with words you have "I love the land which rumble from time to time
a mother protesting misbehave of her offspring" The last lines are just incredible
"I love the land that my ancestors went by, but this
land is not the same, it was converted into a wish." |
