Beside the gravel driveway
00:04
My husband has hung
00:10
sleeves uplifted in the branches.

My father butchering
00:36
Nohkom's headkerchief.
00:43
smoking dried meat.

An infant's birth blood gushing
00:50
Its placenta buried
00:53
in the root of a tree.
00:55
The red hand paintings
00:57
on a river's cliffs, caves

where people meditated
01:41
their vision.
01:42
Four fires tended by the oskapewisuk
01:51
They return to the hearth.

Prayer cloth offerings to the south

The people's blood
