Cree Name Poem

The Steady Wolf

By: Paige Huizenga

Her name tells of how

it was with her.

The truth is she always wanted

the best for her pack.

Everybody learned that nothing would

stop her from achieving her goal,

nothing would stop her from

loving her pack and withstanding

the troubles that they may encounter.

Whether the rain fell, or the wind

blew, or the snow became a blizzard,

life for Steady Wolf was constant.

Her love for others could not be

tamed.

But then others left more work for Steady Wolf,

wanting her to pick up the pieces. She knew

it was not fair, but mother nature is not always sincere.

She gives us challenges whether we like it

or not.

Life in the wild is a struggle.

So Steady Wolf remained there for her pack,

never giving up when the sun set.
