The Tatanka Trail

There's many a story been told many ways,
Of the Cherokee nation, and their once proud days,
The tribe grouped around the communal camp fire,
Each one with a story, telling their desire.


Concerning great victories, and sky spirit meetings,
And joy of Great White Buffalo, and it's greetings,
Hunting parties that return successfully,
With prize skins and food for all others to see.

And so it once was, but that wasn't the score,
White man wanted much, then he wanted much more,
Moved to reservations, to ensure we stay still,
And remove the last of the Cherokee's will.


Many moons have passed, since we entered this place,
But through stories told to us, we remember our race,
Our arts and traditions now keep us well known,
In the lands of our fore-fathers, which should be our own.
