And we hope to come home and speak our language with the help of the Spilyay Tymoo. We read the paper every time we get it! It brings the spirit of home into our hearts, and that is something to be grateful for... Also, the people at home and our friends not to forget...the land, the deer, elk, salmon, berries, roots, everything we can think of. Also, to learn more of the Indian ways and to understand them and respect them in our special way! The “Great Grandfather Spi rit” has listened to our prayers but that’s not enough. Now we must try hard to learn our language. As we read the Spilyay Tymoo, we look for a new word, BUT - as always we see the same “E Coosh Eewa” (the way it is). It would be nice to see a new word in every paper if it could be possible. Well, thank you for your time, and here’s a poem that is well liked by our Indian club. I would like to share it with our people because it comes from the heart. And would like to see it in the Spilyay Tymoo. If you can’t put a new word in, we would like to know why.
