Our dust and bones Ashes cold and white I see no longer the curling smoke rising I hear no longer the songs of the women Only the wail of the coyote is heard ~~~Chief Plenty-Coup~~~
As a child I understood how to give. I have forgotten this grace since I have become civilized. ~~~Chief Luther Standing Bear~~~

When the last red man shall have become a myth among the white men, When your children's children think themselves alone in the field, Upon the highway or in the silence of the pathless woods, They will not be alone. In all the earth there is no place dedicated to solitude. At night when the streets of your cities are silent, And you think them deserted, They will throng with the returning hosts that once filled them And still love this beautiful land. The white man will never be alone. ~~~Chief Seattle~~~

(Partial lyrics from "GHOST DANCE", A song written by Jim Wilson and Robbie Robertson.)
"You can kill my body You can damn my soul For not believing in your god And some world down below You don't stand a chance against my prayers You don't stand a chance against my love They outlawed the Ghost Dance But we shall live again, we shall live again....." ~~~Red Road Ensemble/Robbie Robertson~~~
