Forward I dedicate this collection to my inipi brothers and
sisters who keep home alive for me, and to the
Tulalip Tribes, who trusted me with their children,
and to my own grandfathers and grandmothers
and all my anonymous ancestors who gave up the
old ways to avoid capture, and to hawk, who
brings me messages, and to turtle, who befriended
me when I was in danger, and to all the old peoples
who have gone across, for the way they smile
down on us with such great expectations. ______________ |
