NATIVE PEOPLE!

Not everything the Native People

Know keep talking about is right!

Nor all things the wise people say

Self-appointed educated wise say

Find and understand can be right!

All literate need not be intelligent!

Educated people come see things

Try to understand them first time!

All the educated and talking ones

Are not wise or can be intelligent

And seekers of facts the ultimate

Real truth knowledge of wisdom!

Native People have lived for ages

In harmony with the surroundings

Nature and all their lands to have

Accumulated cumulative wisdom

About the land and things around

Them their homes and their lands!
