PUT ON YOUR MOCCASINS
Put on your makizinan
Tread lightly upon our traditions
And leave firm but gentle tracks
across giganaan-aki's heart
Reminding you of your sacred origins
And our very sacred obligations
And the strong and humble ways
of those who walked before us.Illustration: Tread Lightly on Your Traditions © 2023 Zhaawano Giizhik
Glossary:
Makizin, plural makizinan: moccasin(s)
