I Speak from the Past

I speak from the past,
and I am the past.
I am the Tomahawk Island
massacre, and Wounded Knee,
and the Trail of Tears.
But I speak, too, from the present,
and am the present.
I am Standing Rock,
and the Water Protectors,
I am the Language Renewers,
and all of us
are lighting the way
into the future.
