THE END OF OUR FREEDOM

Even though they fought a good fight and for a time they held their own,
Their numbers were too few
their future was already known.

So the Indian was engulfed by the expansion
swept away like the flood in the spring,
To be deposited on this demeaning reservation
knowing not what the future would bring.

For already the buffalo was no more
no longer could they roam the land,
Their spirit and will was broken
no more was their way of lifend.
