The Great
Chief in Washington
Sends word
that
he wishes to
buy our land.
How can you
buy or sell the sky ~
the warmth
of the land?
The idea is
strange to us.
If I decide
to accept,
I will make
one condition.
The white
man must
treat the
beasts of this land
as his
brothers.
Care for it
as we've cared for it.
Hold in your
mind
the memory
of the land,
as it is
when you take it.
