\nBut there is something not to be forgotten I fear,
\nNations survived here long before we white people came.
\nYet, we bestowed upon this land
\nour claim.<\/p>\n
\nright to this their land,
\nAn egregious act to be recalled
\nyou understand.
\nWe number this sesquicentennial
\nfrom our arrival
\nAnd celebrate the numbered
\nyears of our survival.<\/p>\n
\nand bountiful place.
\nA land of mountains, plains,
\nwaters and endless space.
\nWe must protect the precious
\ngifts we all now own
\nRemembering those from whom
\neach prize was stolen.<\/p>\n
\n And let us not forget the story of those here long before our occupation.
