    About this ebook

    We lost our lands,
    To unseen hands,
    To never know again,
    The life, the love,
    Of one another,
    The Earth, the hunt,
    Our soul, our Mother.
    Only now, empty man,
    We wash ourselves,
    In ancestor's blood,
    No way back,
    But now to die,
    In the white man's flood,
    And to be buried,
    In snow and mud.

      Dear Daddy

      May 20, 2019

      Yours is the first face I saw when I came into the world. At first, I was scared. It was so cold and bright. But then I heard your voice. I remembered it immediately — warm, deep and comforting. I didn’t expect you to be so big. My whole body fits in
