CHORUS
In the early years
animal people - the four-leggeds,
and humans - the two leggeds
talked together.

But the hungry two leggeds
needed to hunt the animals
for food.

The four leggeds
gathered to prepare the way
for their sacrifice
so the humans would be thankful

NARRATOR
And the Nimiipuu
Made the promise
to protect
And speak for the animals always.
And it remains so
Even to this day.
Life was whole
Had purpose.
