Living in a Mountain Valley
Hoopa, California
The Wendat Nation
Enter
Hupa Basket Hat
The Weather in Hoopa
People of the Pacific Northwest

Where grow tall the Sequoias
Deep oceans convene
Swift rivers flow past
Intermeshed in ravines.
The land yields
Acorns, blueberries,
Columbine,
The forest diverse
Azaleas sublime.
It is here
a people live
Born and die
It is here
a people sing
Of earth and of sky.

All grow on the land
Side by side
All share in the sun
The seasons
And tide.
To assemble
and pass on
The seed of the seed
To produce and create
To fulfill the need
Of the land
Of the people
Of the realm
Within the space.

Of those who were
And continued to be
Of those who live
And continue to see
Of those who will come
And perpetuate
Now and
Forever and
Ever again.
