We are born from the stars.
We belong to the sun.
We live by the moon.
We are the salmon in the sea.
We are the dancing cedar trees.
We are the powerful killer whale.
There is magic in our blood.
Still, we forget that the earth is our heart.
We forget to feed our souls with our histories.
We forget that our words are ancient and sacred.
But our spirit will always wait for us… 
…to, one day, wake up.
