They were the first people
We must remember this
They were the ones
the wilderness folk
they carved out our future
and the connection
with a strong culture
till we awoke
to the chronic conditions
the prejudice some have
its wrong and it must
be righted their way of life
Yes it is different
but their land is their land
so stop all this strife
indigenous women
are proud and remarkable
leave them alone
just let them be
stop colonizing their land
they are our brothers
we must understand
times have been hard
like few can imagine
the women worked hard
to protect and to be
able to call themselves
the very first people
thats what they are
lets them always be free
