Poetry Poetry “We respect what they give The rocks, the water and trees For they were here first and we have come after They cry and they thirst And even show laughter” The Drumbeat The forests are happy, the mountains now cheer The streams gurgle gladly And the Four Winds lend an ear The scaled ones rejoice, the wing-ed ones soar Four leggeds give voice To the spirit once more Of the drumbeat, the heartbeat Of the Indian Nations For us the hills live and everything breathes We respect what they give The rocks, the water and trees For they were here first and we have come after They cry and they thirst And even show laughter At the drumbeat, the heartbeat Of the Indian Nations Remember the past, the hardships endured Our people will last You can be reassured We'll honor, we'll praise with dancing and song Our voices we'll raise With the sound growing strong Of the drumbeat, the heartbeat Of the Indian Nations Author Unknown -Really emphasizes Native American spirituality and Native American beliefs of being respectful to nature.
Sleep well sweet child Don't worry your head Your Dream Catcher is humming Above your bed Listen so softly I know you can hear The tone of beyond Close to your ear Love is alive And living in you Beyond all your troubles Where good dreams are true MorePoetry Dream Catchers An ancient Chippewa tradition The dream net has been made For many generations Where spirit dreams have played Hung above the cradle board, Or in the lodge up high, The dream net catches bad dreams, While good dreams slip on by. Bad dreams become entangled Among the sinew thread. Good dreams slip through the center hole, While you dream upon your bed. This is an ancient legend, Since dreams will never cease, Hang this dream net above your bed, Dream on, and be at peace.
OjibiwaPrayor Oh Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the winds And whose breath gives life to everyone, Hear me. I come to you as one of your many children; I am weak... I am small...I need your wisdom and your strength. Let me walk in beauty, and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunsets. Make my hands respect the things you have made, and make my ears sharp so I may hear your voice. Make me wise, so that I may understand what you have taught my people and The lessons you have hidden in each leaf and each rock. I ask for wisdom and strength, Not to be superior to my brothers, but to be able to fight my greatest enemy, myself. Make me ever ready to come before you with clean hands and a straight eye, So as life fades away as a fading sunset, My spirit may come to you without shame.
