| Eagle Brother by Mari Boine Eagle brother, eagle brother, when, when when will I be able to fly with you again? when will I be able to fly with you again? Far north, under Ursa Major, I saw, I saw I saw your brothers fly. I saw them enjoy themselves under the clouds. They asked me to ask, they asked me to ask, who, who did bind your wings that hard? did bind your wings that hard? They asked me to ask, they asked me to ask, who, who did bind your wings that hard? did bind your wings that hard? | |
HEAR THE VOICES OF THE FOREMOTHERS
| Gula brother Gula sister Hear the voices of our foremothers Why have you defiled the earth Poisoned depleted Listen brother Listen sister Hear the song of our ancestors Eatnan, our mother, is Earth If we kill her we also die  | Did you get snared in the fiction That symbiosis is competition? Hear our forefathers’ question Do you know where you are from? You have brothers You have sisters in the Amazonian rainforests on the windswept cliffs of Greenland Do you remember where you come from?  |
