Echoes of the Forgotten Tongues

Echoes of the Forgotten Tongues

Along the asphalt arteries,
U.S. road signs now decree,
Native languages, once obscured,
Resurrected, now assured.

In a land that once erased their voice,
Seven states rise, making a choice,
To honor tribes, their ancient lore,
And let their languages restore.

Words once silenced, now come alive,
As signs tell tales, to revive,
The beauty of indigenous speech,
Whispered secrets, they now teach.

Cherokee, Navajo, and Sioux,
Apache, Choctaw, Chickasaw too,
These tongues reclaim their rightful place,
Guiding all with native grace.

In every word, a memory resides,
Teaching us how to harmonize,
Land and culture, intertwined,
Preserving traditions, for all mankind.
