The following text is from the 1924 poem "Cycle" by D'Arcy McNickle, who was a citizen of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes.

There shall be new roads wending,
A new beating of the drum--
Men's eyes shall have fresh seeing,
Grey lives reprise their span--
But under the new sun's being,
Completing what night began,
There'll be the same backs bending,
The same sad feet shall drum--
When this night finds its ending
And day shall have come....
