Once the First Nation people owned the land,
from one coast of Canada to the next coast;
the mighty warrior is now just a ghost.
The people rounded up no matter what band,
put in Indian reservations to be controlled;
with unspeakable restrictions still untold.
Even in 2019, the housing is still badly planned,
homes poorly constructed and full of black mold;
overcrowded, no clean water and in winter cold.
The people make a health and education demand,
eggs $15, jug of juice $26, veggies, meat rotten;
these are people the government has forgotten.
Suicide deaths -this I don't accept or understand,
the government brag about helping refugees;
I am pleading, help the First Nation people, please.
Once the First Nation People owned the land,
then people rounded up no matter what band;
even in 2019, the housing is still badly planned.
The people make a health and education demand,
suicide deaths- this I do not accept or understand.
