Nimishoo Migiz!

Waabanong ge-nakawenayaan

Gi-giizhigoonigimaani nindowedaan

Gi-giizhigoonigimaani nindowedaan


Niwii gikinawaajitoon gindinaadiziwin

Ishpiming, nigizhiaayaash ishpaa

Ninganawaab niisaya'ii

Ninganawaab niisaya'ii


Ninga niwaabaandaan waashaagama-zaagi'igan

Ji-mino-dooodaman, nibawaajige

Gimanaaji'enimin nimishoo

Gimanaaji'enimin

"Grandfather Eagle!

To the east I turn my head

To the skies I look and call

To the skies I look and call


I will try to emulate your nature

High up in the sky, soaring

Looking down

Looking down


I will perceive a clear blue lake

For I will dream of good deeds

I honor you, grandfather

I honor you in my thoughts."



- My personal song of praise to the spirit of Migizi.
