they are connected
by a continual rye
these peoples dwelling
under the infinite sky*
they've handed down
native culture
to generations
that live for nature
the eagle
the bison
the wolf
carry their spirit
across the nation's terrain
ever these animals
shall abide and sustain
the spruce
the prairie grass
the cactus
lasting with the growth
of a land's deed
long they've planted
the tribal man's breed
flourishing
in the mountains
and along rivers
of timeless tradition
indigenous
kinfolk preserving
their heritage
on a millennial expedition
tepees still built
to this very day
a peoples country
*inherited of clay
by a continual rye
these peoples dwelling
under the infinite sky*
they've handed down
native culture
to generations
that live for nature
the eagle
the bison
the wolf
carry their spirit
across the nation's terrain
ever these animals
shall abide and sustain
the spruce
the prairie grass
the cactus
lasting with the growth
of a land's deed
long they've planted
the tribal man's breed
