Native Remembrance Day

I would like to pay tribute to those who died While introducing you to our native pride We are Cherokee, Iroquois, and Lakota We are Navajo, Algonquin, and Dakota Our lands were open and free to roam But when the pilgrims came, we lost our home We are Omaha, Sioux, and Pawnee We are Mohegan, Crow, and Shawnee Our people were brave, our tribes were strong What was done to them was very wrong We are Hopi, Ottawa, and Comanche We are Pueblo, Cree, and Apache Now my friends, let the truth be told Our people were killed, beaten and sold To this day we get no respect The word used to describe us, we must reject A football team even bears the name Which brings us dishonor, grief and shame So tell me the truth, what would you say For us, is it a Thanksgiving Day?
