NATIVE BROTHER, NATIVE SISTER

Native brother, native sister
From both near and far places
Striving to preserve culture
Upbringing, fortitude, ‘n life
Some speak native language
Some have lost it to history

Native brother, native sister
Caught between two worlds
Struggling in living in both
Confused of many directions
Some are still discriminated
Some are highly respected

Native brother, native sister
Hold on to the common bonds
Within each of clan or tribe
Preserve what is left of each
Never let yourself be extinct
Never lose your pride and love
