??I know a people of the land?
Who some say they do not understand?
The thirteen Moons they know of well ?
The seasons change and the tides swell?
?They are simple with no complexity?
They know the land and its healing touch?
It gives back oh so much
??The original keepers of this land?
Here so long ago for you and me?
And some say that it was the Cree
??Kind and gentle greeting all ?
Beneath the virgin timbers tall
??Take the time to say Wachay?
While you are out along the way?
First a nod then a smile
??It’s a way of friendship you will see
?From our brothers of the Cree
