      THERE ARE NO MORE INDIANS

      There are no more Indians

      That’s what my teacher told me

      Indians were a people who

      lived a noble life, then went away

      away to museums to live in glass cases

      to be fondly remembered

      in Hollywood movies

      portrayed by white men in redface

      savage minstrels who in the end

      go away yet again

      There are no more Indians

      you must be from someplace else

      LAND

      There is a bond

      between a people and their land

      Something wondrous

      that unites a group of humans

      into a People

      You might think it’s blood

      There is something

      equally wondrous that makes a place a Land

      It’s a relationship formed

      between
