I can't stand when I'm told to not to be me,
a part of an inalienably distinct legacy
buried in bones blood skin and hair.
I'm indian - and don't you dare tell me otherwise
I'm playing by your rules, but only at this time.
I'm indian, and if you don't like the term
or your from the land in the EAST
with the same labled peoples
well don't talk to me
speak with the powers that be
they seem to see it fine
to dictate my nationality!
I'm Tla'amin, Stl'atl'imx,
Namgis and Cree
and I sure as hell don't identify
with Canadian Ideology.
And while were on that mind frame brain train track
lets talk about that
Because discusion is key
