Wyandotte Indians
the peninsula dwellers
Iroquois speaking
their sign is turtle
the world was created
on the turtles back
oh
great mountain high
what
peaks
that
touch
the
sacred
Iroquois sky
as
blue
as
robin's egg
drift
through
her
Iroquois eyes
My great great great grandfather...
a long time ago
the people of the longhouse
kept my ancestors

* I have a bit of Native American in my background :)
Warsaw, Moscow
cities in Indiana
Pekin, Paris
towns in Illinois
All four northwest
of the Iroquois...
Don't ask me why I wrote this
Ask me instead for a kiss
tales of the Iroquois twitter, afowl — partridge drumming hostile beats

Lake Ontario
great lake
beautiful lake
in Huron Wyandot
Ontarí’io
names but thunder
they merely rumble
intentions that echo
lake of shining waters
beautiful water
in Iroquois Mohawk
Oniatari:io
names are how we honour
reflecting our own light
our little wave
our tide our turn
to appreciate this life
My home on native land
I stole that from a T-shirt
Gotta give credit
Where credit is due
Canada 'eh
Kanata
Iroquois for settlement or village
And here's where I slip in pillage
Pardon my digression
Subjugation segregation
And bad first impression
Gotta give credit where credit is due
I remember being proud of a beret in blue

~ An Eight-Line Treatise on 'Settler Colonialism' ~
The Apache beat up on the Cheyenne
and the Iroquois on the Sioux
Mohawks ‘mohawked’ the Mohicans
Aztecs turned the Cree into stew …
Now Europeans are called ‘settler colonialists’
but who does America really belong to
Probably Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon man
~ dispossessed by Indians too
