PRAYERS OF THE TSIMSHIAN TO NEXNÓA
Nexnóx, Nexnóx!
Chief, Chief!
have pity upon us!
else there will be nobody
to smoke under you!
Nexnóx, have pity upon us!
Chief, Chief!
have pity upon us!
else there will be nobody
to smoke under you!
Nexnóx, have pity upon us!
FOR FAIR WEATHER
Nexnóx, Nexnóx!
Chief, Chief!
have pity upon us!
Look down and see
what those under you
whom you made are doing!
Pull up your foot
and sweep off your face! *
Chief, Chief!
have pity upon us!
Look down and see
what those under you
whom you made are doing!
Pull up your foot
and sweep off your face! *
FOR CALM WEATHER
Hold in your breath, Chief,
that it may be calm.
that it may be calm.
