Excerpt from The Way Called Beautiful' by Helen Bird
"Long before the coming of our revised history stood a unique
red man of great mystery.
He stands patiently waiting by your tipi entrance.
He knows every beat of our red peoples' hearts.
His hair is braided long with care. The color of his skin is
deep copper.
He is the first red man uniquely apart.
I call him 'Wau-See-Turr', for no one really knows his name.
He was the first red man to walk upon this sacred land.
How this red man died??? No one will ever know!
Wau-See-Turr entered in to sacred spirit sky world.
A sacred place for 'nishnaubeh' (red person), that Our
'Kish-Shamm-Manitou' (Creator)
had planned.
Wau-See-Turr was all alone over there and he was lonely
being the very first!
He spoke to Kish-Shamm-Manitou and Kish-Shamm-Manitou
answered his request...
That for all time, to the last red person's spirit,
Wau-See-Turr would enter and depart
from the sacred spirit place in the sky, to guide all his
people's from down here to up there.
They have gone, never, ever to depart from up high.
Wau-See-Turr...You have heard our cries of misery and you
have answered from that
place over there in eternity.
Wau-See-Turr...
Your nishnaubeh path is deeply trodden by red man nations
come from down here below.
You have answered our many calls of miseries, when we feared
to be lost to some other eternity...
He stands waiting patiently by your tipi entrance, fanning
Kish-Shamm-Manitou's
mighty spotted eagles' feathers.
His sacred song is final farewell to world down here, as you
dance upon deeply trodden path, hand in hand together.
Over there, high upon the banks of eternity, Wau-See-Turr
points to our beloved ancestors singing to us...
"Wau-See-Turr
Wau-See-Turr
Wau-See-Turr..."
They are calling all of...Us!!!"
Within this great mystery, this man was given many ways how
it would be...
With warriors, childrens' that belong to these warriors, the
once was warriors…
Our most respected elders, they all feel this sacred vision
of our Spirit Guide Sky Walker
He will be the very last to enter in to our place given to
us by Kish-Shamm-Manitou.
That sacred place we call spirit sky world where our
ancestors call to us always.
