Grizzly Bear Town

Terri-Lynn Williams-Davidson


Xuuaajii 'Laanaas
Xuuaajii 'Laanaas
Home of T'iis Kwaanaaya
Place of wild stillness
Whoa ho, wanagan iijiidan

The ancients say
Find your place of peace
Protect the land and sea
Go there and be!
Whoa ho, wanagan iijiidan

Sometimes I want to go back in time!
And sit with nanaay 7aawaay
In xuuaajii 'laanas
Oh, but colonization was a hard time!
Decimation, segregation, suppression
Vestiges remain today
Those in sGaana tllGaay whisper
Anger is victim, in disguise
It eats at your soul like cancer
Instead, be
Warriors of light, peace and forgiveness

Xuuaajii 'Laanaas, Xuuaajii 'Laanaas
Home of T'iis Kwaanaanya
Place of wild stillness
Whoa ho, wanagan iijiidan
