Behind The Feather


What kind of person are you?

Are you Caucasian, African American, Hispanic or Asian?

Common people you see walking through streets

Navajo, Dine’, Native American

This is all the same to me

I am Native American

I was told to lose my ways

To keep up in a changing world

I am Native American, nothing has changed

Culture, Tradition, Language and Teachings

Still able to keep up with students across this nation

I am Native American

Teaching on the land and within my future classrooms

I am Native American and I am here to make a difference

In the world for my peoples children

They are the future

I will become a Native American Educator

I am a Navajo but Yet I am still Native American
