How tall doth thou stand?
As a testament to the grace of mine people,
built by mine forefathers hand,
thou remind mine friends and family of our heritage as Native Americans.
Teaching mine clan to stand with pride,
against the test of time,
thou art an exemplification, oh totem pole
to mine forefathers time with the Wolves.
Cared for by nature's wolves
lying betwixt wolf cubs,
did mine forefather learn to liveth and groweth
in the earth realm
Only then, from the earth realm of the wolves,
did mine forefather learn of the
sky realm and underwater world
and the many creatures within.
Though from these realms, many friends did mine forefather make,
easy was it not to be human.
So my forefather made the totem as an attestation
to the friendship and memories with Thunderbird, and Blackfish that mine forefather had made.
But two others did mine forefather regret,
with the beaver who hated the earth folk,
And the frog
Whom he accidentally angered to cause great calamity within the protruding belly of the earth
Red fires
and red waters did the frog cause to spew out
all to the chagrin of
mine forefather who had, craving meat hunted with the wolves, frogs to eat.
