The Delta Girlz

I am from stuffed bunny rabbit

From yoyo

And hide and seek outside Ingamo

I am from the land of lots of trees

Bright, dark at night in the winter time

And looks like all sorts of different colors

I am from the monkey

They can jump far on trees and eat banana’s

I am from drum dancing

And looks like me

From Lena

And John

I’m from playing bingo

And geese hunting

From clean up

And stay in school

I’m from funny

And Santa Clause

From Caribou meat and dry fish

From when we were all in the bush and my Nanuk coughed and her dentures fell out of her mouth and we all laughed

From my daduk Benjamin likes singing

I am from pictures of my nanuk on the wall to think of her now that she is passed.

I am from barbie’s

From stuffed bunny

And playing tag

I am from the filthy

Small, morning sunrise

And smells like a big load of garbage

I am from the rose bush

They smell good

I’m from on the land

And happy and cheerful

From Hank Rogers

And Sarah Rogers

I’m from Muskrat hunt

And shopping sprees

From Be good

And your beautiful

I’m from monsters under my bed

And I don’t know

From Pizza and carrots

From the time when we were all around the fire place and Uncle Robert came out with a sheet over his body and he scared us all.  Everybody left me outside and I was frieghtened.

From my daduk Hank is a very good trapper.

I am from a photo album that brings good memories

I am from my teddy bear Ruby,

from fake cell phones

and hide and seek.

I am from snowy roads.

Sparkly, bright, and smells like cold.

I am from thorny willows.

Pokey and hurtful.

I’m from cooking our favorite hamburger soup

and shyness.

From Rhoda Allen & Agnes Allen.

I’m from wrestling and playing with my dog.

and my sisters hand-me-downs.

From always say your manners

and don’t stop your art.

I’m from the tooth fairy

and a tooth for two dollars.

From eskimo donuts and caribou meat.

From the time my sister Ashlyn joked my sister and I

that we were adopted, and our real names

were Beatrice and Bertha.

And the way my mom’s mom’s mom held me.

I am from the bush camp.

Pictures all over the walls of my family.

I have not seen them for a long time.
