Source: Passamaquoddy Traditional Song
We are the stars who sing,
we sing with our light;
We are the birds of fire,
we fly over the sky.
Our light is a voice...
We make a road for the spirits,
for the spirits to pass over.
Among us are three hunters
who chase a bear.
There never was a time
when they were not hunting.
We look down on the mountains.
This is the song of the stars.
----Passamaquoddy Song
