26 THE TATLER 1926 AH! SHOWAIN NEMSHIN, NOSA! In the. glimmer of the firelight Sat the young men and the old men, Sat the wise men and the wizards. In the circle sat an old man, lie with locks as white as snow is He with with memories very ancient. In the. center was a tom-tom, And upon it was its beater, Inviting someone to tell a story. “Onoway! Awake, thou dreamer. Awake; and tell them, all these people. Of your ancient memories.” Then uprising from the circle Came the old man, came the dreamer, Knelt down, squatted by the tom-tom And struck the war drum with its beater Then the old man, chanting softly, Sang to them this memoir ancient: “Far away, away to westward, Dwell my brothers, long gone from me. I alone am left behind them. I alone can tell our story. It was in the Lodge of Wisdom That there sat a man of knowledge Called by us Ko’Ko Khas, the owl bird. Called by the paleface, Mr. Cordrey. And a man of mighty wisdom, He the friend of man, Mondamin, He the Jossakeed, Mr. Wheeler. Under them were many Medas. Some were as the great war captains; Others, as the sweetest singers. Only nine moons of a season Did the Owl bird hold a council In that mighty Lodge of Wisdom. When I went there with my brothers All the others called us Faint-heart, Called us cowards, the Shaugodaya.

THE TATLE R—1 9 2 6 27 And our chieftan for that season Was Mama, he the jay bird, Who the paleface knows as Jay Ward. In the second nine-moon-season We were as the Loon birds, Wise Fools, Shur-shuh-gah, the silly Loon birds. We had a princess, not a chieftan, Ruling o’er us in that season. Her we called Laughing Water, Minne-ha-ha, Mildred Mitchell. When this season had been finished We had half our course completed In the Lodge of Many Medecenes. In the third nine-moon-season Nahma, he the king of fishes, Nahma, who we call the Sturgeon, Nahma, Wilbur Phillips to the paleface, Was our sachem, great and mighty. All the othea ' s called us Storm Fools, Called us Storm Fools, Pau-pulc-keewis. Now the time when we were strongest Came to us as an arrow To the heart of a roebuck. We, the great war eagle, Keneu, We were Keneu whom none could conquer. Again Nahma, the painted Sturgeon, Was our ruler, was our chieftan. We were as Gheezis, the Sun, is: So bright we were that none beheld us; In our deeds so high and lofty We were as Gheezis, the Sun, is. Ah Kaween! The time is staid not, No indeed! It went not slowly, But as a swiftly flying arrow When ’tis shot with bows of ashwood. Then a day, a day of sorrow, Came and I was as a wretch is: Never have I seen my comrades; Never have our paths beep crossed.” And the tom-tom, sobbing softly, Seemed to echo the old man’s wiiisper As he said in tones of sorrow, “Ah! showain nemshin, nosa!” “Ah ' pity me, my father!” —BLANCHE PHILLIPS.
