fall finds a chilled breeze
after the apple fest sends
tourists heading south
ojibway brothers
recall the sacred harvest
following father
into the canoe
knocking sticks pulling wild rice
preserving ancient
ways of forefathers
before cheap casinos and
bad river whiskey
a rice moon tells tribal tales
of a thousand years
