A Rap for the Idle No More Movement

Here's a rap in honour of the "Idle No More" movement and the hunger strike by Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence.

Treaty, treaty, what treaty?

Treaties you say?

No way, no way.

When, where, why?

Long ago signed in good faith,

So, then they're out of date?

Go and get us more pelts of Otter

Then we'll give you Fire Water.

Oh yeah, honouring Treaties?

No way, no way,

That'll be the day.       

First Day of New Year 2013

What do you think of new Western culture

Oh, that would be nice

What about its wisdom and compassion

Oh, their leaders have that on ice

No hope then for this New Year?

Oh yes, a few tribes in the Amazon

and us, are still here, except . . .

Maybe not the Polar Bear
