Kagakshi-Raven
Kowabmago maske’wot notin,
He glides above on tacit wings,
Pne’to giwe’ bye'ton
Silent as the death he brings;
Kshe’mnito anwe'we'ksit nibwe,
The Guardian of departed souls,
Me'kte'wate'k migwin iwkshe'
With feathers of the darkest coal;
Puknine azhi me'mkwe'ge'
Protector over all things dead,
Ogama mnogizhget kizhuk
My Sentinel flying overhead.
~This is first Potawatomi then English~
