The Indian Game
by Wa-Wa Chaw

Bronze-yellowish Red Indian

The game of human likes are the same

The only difference is the Indian name

The tireless Indian umpire are always the same

The Indian Headmen and Chieftains control the game.

The Indian chiefs dare not limp,

For the Pale-face will take a glimpses [sic].

Into the game that help him Indian to his feet

To learn to walk down city streets.

Heap-Big-Hearts gave him Indian big treats.

Big-Heap-heart has Pale-face chief,

The Indian game is without grief.

Heap-chiefs share the Pale-face leaf,

Friendship is the guiding game.

Indian love spirit likes are the same,

The only difference is the Indian name.

Buffaloes has [sic] left the pastures.

The eagles are without a nest.

The human Buffalo knows the Indian rest,

Chief-Buffalo-Heart knows what game is best.

The Indian Game.
