Awake from slumber,
Look toward the east,
See the rising of the sun,
Which means another day to toil,
Another day to hunt for meat,
To put the seed in the ground
That the yield might be good,
So our hungry people may not go hungry,
The great Father provided us the sun
To give us life to our earth so
That it might give us a good yield.
And that we might see
To hunt our game for meat.
So arise and make use of the day
And do not get in the way
Of the women as they go about
Fixing up the camp and the
Needed task of preparing meals for you.
Many moons, many suns have come and gone
Since our forefathers here on this same ground
Toiled and struggled so that we might
Enjoy life today.
So let us not waste this day.
But get your tools, go out to the field, or
Take down your bow and arrows
And go after the game, so that
Your family will not be in need of meat.
So now I hope you will strive
To make this day the best in your life!
