“Do Not Forget, My Warriors”

Warriors that have passed through here

In barren, desolate, or fertile soils

Hunting, fishing, picking berries

For sustenance and covering

Hear the silent echoes in canyon walls

Cries of sorrow for naught

Women, children, n’ elders

Passing from life and death

Prairie grasses whispering in the wind

Speaking the words of the buffalo

Relating wisdom from the eagle

Instructing warriors to never forget

“Always remember your ancestors,

Who have traveled eons before you.

Never forget their stories and lessons

Carry on with respect to self and man.”
