They called them Birds
They lived high on a hill,
They were people who were up before first light.
They did not have peculiar customs.
They would not bother anybody.
They did not work, they
lived easy.
the best of them were wiser than other clans.
They did not depend on anyone but themselves.
They were the bird clan.
Chickasaw
It is important
to honour our beginnings, to remember that we matter, and that
we have a place in this world, that no one else has.
