The white man came,
The white man saw,
The white man desired.
We the people were to be no more,
We walked tall,
We walked proud.
Our land they stole,
Our lives they took,
Our children taught their ways.
Treaties they made with us,
Treaties they broke,
Treaties never intended to be kept.
Death they promised us,
Death they gave us,
Death of the people the only way.
The land of our ancestors,
The land of our descendants,
The land of no more.
We need progress, they said,
We need your land, they said,
We need you gone, they said.
Once we were many,
Once we were like the Buffalo,
Once, yes once but no more.
