THE SUMMONS
When Redfeather, great and mighty, Called to us across the water. Called the children to the Wigwam, To the Wigwam by the Lake. We all came in eager hundreds ■ To be blessed by him, our father ... Far and wide his voice was carried, Far across the land it echoed. And we answered him in chorus. Promised always to be faithful. Promised always to be true. Then he took his quill and wrote them, ' Wrote our names upon the Totem. And with joyful hearts and voices Back we journeyed to the Wigwam. To the Wigwam by the water, And around the glowing tramp-fire (With our names upon the Totem) We all sat and in the silence Smoked the friendly Pipe of Peace. —WAY OF THE WIND (Phyllis, Williams, aged 15).
