INDIAN CHILDREN by ANNETTE WYNNE

First Line: WHERE WE WALK TO SCHOOL EACH DAY
Last Line: WHERE WE LIVE AND WORK AND PLAY!
Subject(s): JANUARY; NATIVE AMERICANS - CHILDREN;

WHERE we walk to school each day
Indian children used to play—
All about our native land,
Where the shops and houses stand.

And the trees were very tall,
And there were no streets at all,
Not a church and not a steeple—
Only woods and Indian people.

Only wigwams on the ground,
And at night bears prowling round—
What a different place to-day
Where we live and work and play!
