Too High and Mighty


	TOO HIGH AND MIGHTY The white people came uninvited they came to our land a stranger, Conquest was in their minds so the Indian people’s hearts grew much anger. Anger for the intrusion by the so-called superior race, Anger for our naive ness for not realizing the on slaught we were about to face. We did not understand the white man and his ways we could not change, We just wanted to keep our way of life and not have it to be rearranged. But the white man felt he knew best because he was so smart indeed, And the poor heathen Red Man of his freedom he had no need. The whites thought they were so mighty their actions were blessed by the Almighty’s name, But they missed one simple truth their God and our Great Spirit was really one and the same.
