Gathered inside the teepee
surrounded by the fire's light,
getting ready for battle
smoking the peace pipe.

Horses outside
dressed in their feathers,
women and children dance
in the rainy weather.

These brave warriors
fight for their land,
trying to protect it
from the white man.

The war drums beat
filled with anger in their heart,
they will never give up
their sacred land, with it they shall not part.
