Nimishoo Migiz!

"Grandfather Eagle!
To the east I turn my head
To the skies I look and call
To the skies I look and call
I will try to emulate your nature
High up in the sky, soaring
Looking down
Looking down
I will perceive a clear blue lake
For I will dream of good deeds
I honor you, grandfather
I honor you in my thoughts."
- My personal song of praise to the spirit of Migizi.
