lyrics

bneshiinyik ninoondwa
birds, I hear (you)

nimanacitân kiyawaw
I respect/care (for) you all

zaagiinoon ngandtawaa
plants, I will listen (to you)

niki-kanâhcitân kiyawaw
I will clean (for) you all

nitasotîn nwaawiindawaa
I promise, I promise (this)

gchi-miigwech maskihkiya
big thank-you (to the) medicines

nitasotîn okâwîmâw
I promise, great mother (earth)
