ln the water Nliska taught us How to swim like little fishes ln and out the cold, blue waters Sometimes bright and sparkling Waters And lest we forget to come up quickly Not to get the least excited. For supper we would have the fishes Along with seaweed green and slimy But if you tarry too long there, Soon you'd count the stars in heaven. We must not forget Owakon Of the many things she taught us How to paddle in the water And glide clear over the water. For the lake was deep and stormy And t'would be awful to fall over Vfiith the canoe on top instead of under Ask us port or starboard if you care to And your directions will be followed. Now we hear our Big Chiefs whistle Calling, ever calling for us just to hustle but not to hurry Never, never, never worry If youill be on time to classes Such things you can't get rid of easily For theyill be there if you're absent But donit let them mislead you For many times when youire absent lliapo will be sure to find you. In the camp on Sunday evenings YYe would gather round the campfire With its fiery glowing embers And our blankets tucked about us Not for Warmth or even comfort, But they helped to keep out skeeters And when all was dark and solemn lYe would listen oft in wonder To tales told us by scribes and editor From our paper called Ayaka. There we listened to tribes singing Often of their deeds and honor For such is the tradition of the camp Of the bright and leaping campfire And We met there quite regularly Unless dampened by big, big raindrops llihich came down so very suddenly Dampening us but not our spirits. Now that you have heard this story Remember such joys are for all who seek them.
