i’m alive
so i must be part of the team
so i must be present
if you aren't on your ancestrial land,
you must of been prosecuted
like the Indigenous
10,000 spirts step with every Protester's step
We walk in Prayer
We are Treaty People
Chivalary's Roadkill
Foot fall is more gentle
Than the road we travel
Turtle island's she'll is broken
Road kill is present
We walk for treaty rights
We walk to save our lives
For the animals v that can't
And the water that we cry
The world looks the other way
Cars pass by
Honking
Spraying dust and diseal fumes
White men with killer toys
Bandanas and flags…
we Walk
Humbly
in Prayer
like the Water
in Sacredness
All the Support
All the Community
over asphault and with a caravan
will our Prayers be heard
with the Spirits awaken
the people asleep
the pipeline deceased
the wild rice pleads
august 25th marks the day
the state capital awaits with empty arms
a cry for community to be present
for sovereignty to be realized
and Treaty Rights Upheld
