Hang around the fort

First they came to take away the corn and the buffalo.

 I was not worried, I ate beans, squash and elk.

Then they took away warrior class.
 I was not worried, I trapped for pelts.

Then they came to take our youth to brutalized and murdered them if they resisted becoming like them.

I was not worried ,I had no children and they promised that I would be fed.

Then they came to take the fourth leg of the panther,buffalo and Jaguar severing those ancient customary connections and links.

I was not worried I held them in my heart but at least our youth could be relinked

Then they came to take me away, telling me it was for my own good indeed.

I was not worried there were only 10 men with bold faces of cold stone. I sounded a battle cry and looked around to find, I was alone.

They had taken away everything I held dear.
Destroying my entire way of life.

I should have stood to defend when they took the corn away because systematically they devoured my entire way of life.
