We were a powerful nation until the government told us we were poor.
We were a spiritual people until the government religions told us we were heathens.
We were a healthy people until the government gave us blankets infected with small pox.
We were a proud people until the government took our children away and beat our culture out of them.

We were a peaceful people, Now we are a people fighting for our right to exist.
We were complacent, Now We are IDLE NO MORE.
