RebelBreed War Chief Supporting our Troops's blog: "Native American Stories!!"

The voice of our people
had been silent too long,
But tonight it spoke
again loud and strong.
As we gathered around it
to sing and to pray
We thanked the Creator
for the wonderful way
that a horrible wrong
had been righted at last.
And we can look forward
to a bright future
undimmed by the past.
The full moon shone through
the trees clear and bright,
As Grandfather smiled down
on our new Drum that night.
As we stood in the circle
our spirits united as one
And we rejoiced in the victory
that had been won.
My eyes filled with tears
and my heart filled with pride,
As I looked at my sisters and brothers
who stood side by side.
And that is how we shall face
whatever may come
Armed with the strength we receive
from the spirit of our new Drum.
